[Bug 796531] Re: os-prober does not detect Windows if there is a /boot folder in the Windows partition

[Brian Murray]

os-prober (1.48) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Depend on grub-mount-udeb (see changelog for 1.45).
  * item_in_dir: return 1 immediately if second argument is not a directory
    (thanks, Daniel Richard G.; LP: #798447).

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * add MeeGo detection support; thanks to Chengwei Yang
    <chengwei.yang at intel.com> for the patch.
  * Fix Windows detection when there are more then one boot directories
    (e.g boot and Boot). Closes: #634649.

Title:
  os-prober does not detect Windows if there is a /boot folder in the
  Windows partition

Status in os-prober:
  Unknown
Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  If the Windows partition contains a /boot/grub/core.img folder  (due
  to a previous installation of GRUB, mistaken or not ), os-prober won't
  detect Windows any more.

  I believe this is due to the fact that there are 2 folders with
  similar names ("/Boot" and "/boot"), so os-prober just sees the /boot
  folder instead of the /Boot or /BOOT folder coming with Windows)

  Bug confirmed on GRUB 1.98.
