Public bug reported:
Running update-grub gives the error:
grep: input file '/tmp/grub.cfg.new' is also the output
This problem is caused by a combination of...
250 exec > ${grub_cfg}.new
and ...
285 if [ "x${grub_cfg}" != "x" ] && ! grep -q "^password "
${grub_cfg}.new ; then
effectively resulting in:
grep -q "^password" /tmp/grub.cfg.new > /tmp/grub.cfg.new
Problem is in patch debian/patches/grub.cfg_400.patch.
