Bug#555394: os-prober: still failing

[antoine beaupre <anarcat@anarcat.ath.cx>]

Package: os-prober
Version: 1.39
Severity: normal

So this is still happening in 1.39, which is fairly disappointing. It
seems that os-prober relies on a linux-specific sysfs in line 29:

        if [ -d /sys/block ]; then

partitions () {
        # Exclude partitions that have whole_disk sysfs attribute set.
        if [ -d /sys/block ]; then
                ...
        else
                echo "Cannot find list of partitions!" >&2
                exit 1
        fi
...
}

/sys/block doesn't exist under kFreeBSD.. I am not sure how this should
be done, but i find it unfortunate that this doesn't work yet...
