Description MAL 2005-07-04 03:05:11 UTC

einfo output of the ebuild:

 * Copying files from /usr/lib/grub to /boot

/usr/lib/grub doesn't exist.

Correct path is /lib/grub

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

The ebuild copies from /lib/grub and /usr/lib/grub to /boot. Looks like some
backward compatible thing or a leftover from old ebuilds. I updated the message.
Thanks for reporting!

Comment 2 MAL 2005-07-04 04:55:08 UTC

There is no /usr/lib/grub on my system, which makes me wonder what's going on 
with the grub ebuild, given that it specifically sets --datadir to /usr/lib/grub

I wondered too, datadir ir normally /usr/share. I don't know what Robert intended
with it. I'm just doing backup maintainership until he comes backup.
