Bug#674561: A patch to improve parsing yaboot.conf

[Hedayat Vatankhah <hedayatv@gmail.com>]

Package: os-prober
Version: 1.53
Tags: patch


os-prober assumes that there is no space around '=' sign for append 
directive in yaboot.conf, while there can be. Therefore, both 
append="some options" and append = "some options" are valid in 
yaboot.conf. This patch fixes this parsing bug.
