Bug 39504 – sys-boot/grub-0.93.20030118 -> Unrecognized option `--just-copy'

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Lesley van Zijl 2004-01-26 14:25:26 UTC]

When I try to emerge the latest grub it succeeds but the Unrecognized option bothers me.

>>> /sbin/grub
>>> /sbin/grub-install
>>> /sbin/grub-md5-crypt
>>> /sbin/grub-terminfo
--- /bin/
>>> /bin/mbchk
--- /boot/
--- /boot/grub/
>>> /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
>>> /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample
Unrecognized option `--just-copy'
Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device
Install GRUB on your drive.

  -h, --help              print this message and exit
  -v, --version           print the version information and exit
  --root-directory=DIR    install GRUB images under the directory DIR
                          instead of the root directory
  --grub-shell=FILE       use FILE as the grub shell
  --no-floppy             do not probe any floppy drive
  --force-lba             force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy
                          BIOS
  --recheck               probe a device map even if it already exists

INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

2. scroll up to the last steps of the ebuild
3. think 'is it a smart move to reboot' :)

Actual Results:  
syntax error in ebuild or use of deprecated option or use of unknown option
causes an error but doesnt stop the ebuild

Expected Results:  
no problems
