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

[Colin Watson]

The reason this is failing for you is that you're running the build as
root.  You really shouldn't do that - the build phase of Debian source
packages is supposed to run as non-root.

I intentionally haven't added build-dependencies for the root-only
tests, since they will never be exercised in normal package builds.

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.
