Bug#791383: Invalid detection of Windows Vista+ loader
Package: os-prober
Severity: normal
Hi, sometimes os-prober is unable to detect the exact version
of windows loader is in use and mark the entry as vista (the fallback)
this is due the fact grep is called without -a, so in os-probes/20microsof
bootmgr detections should be done without grep -qas instead of grep -qs
Sometimes it works because grep treats the file as ascii, sometimes not
Regards
