[Bug 1299041] Re: grub2-2.02 has wrong build-deps

[Valentijn Sessink]

Thanks for the >= 1.10 addition.
Still, if you install "ntfs-3g" but not "attr", then the "ntfs_test" FAILS - not skips - with an error "./grub-fs-tester: line 895: setfattr: command not found". It probably tests the availability of mkfs.ntfs somewhere without testing setfattr. You could argue that this is an upstream bug all by itself and has nothing to do with the build-deps. However, if there's a quick fix (and, in fact, why not let all tests succeed instead of skip?) it could be worth fixing this.

Title:
  grub2-2.02 has wrong build-deps

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  after "apt-get build-dep grub-efi-amd64", many packages are missing. The ones I tracked so far:
  automake1.10 (another automake is probably somewhere in the dependencies, but building complained that 1.10 is needed); to be able to run the tests, dependencies seem to be: lzop; hfsplus; squashfs-tools; attr; reiserfsprogs
  I might have missed a package - currently rebuilding grub and it seems to work.
