Bug#546757: os-prober tries (and fails) to mount crypted partition at grub installation time

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal


grup-pc still recommends os-prober>=1.32 and not >=1.33. I think this should be fixed as this problem silently blocks apt on system with encrypted partitions.

I installed os-prober 1.33 from sid and everything works fine now.

Regards,

Kjö
