Hi,
Here's a little more information about this bug: grub-yeeloong's
postinst runs grub-install with no arguments. This causes
grub-install to try to autodetect the target based on the output of
"uname -m". "uname -m" outputs "mips64" on my Lemote Yeeloong. This
causes it to match the "mips"* pattern and sets target to "mips-arc".
/usr/lib/grub/mips-arc doesn't exist, so grub-install displays the
aforementioned error and exits.
