Bug#390958: inscrutable error message in grub-install

[florian kriener]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-17
Severity: normal


grub-install is installed in /sbin, but if it doesn't exist in /usr/sbin it outputs:

"Your /usr is broken; please fix it before calling this wrapper!"

What is that supposed to mean?
