Package: os-prober
Version: 1.65
Severity: critical
Tags: newcomer
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
During the upgrade (apt-get dist-upgrade) of a computer from debian7 (Wheezy)
to Debian8 (Jessie) the system still runs the kernel 3.2 from Wheezy; but the
os-prober version used by update-grub is already the one from Jessie... and
hang.
According to:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2013/05/msg00077.html
(and related bugs at maegia), the new os-prober (from Jessie) is unable to scan
a hard-drive containing Extended partitions (like sdb4 hereafter) and locks
forever (at least 90mn), locking the debian system in the middle of a dist-
upgrade.

The system was fully occupied by a "mount" process trying to mount /dev/sdb4.
This process was uninteruptable (kill -9 being ineffective) and forced to
reboot exactly at the stage grub was updating.
The only solution found was to boot an external device with a rescue system and
a recent kernel (3.16) to finish the dist-upgrade. One solution may have been
to upgrade first the kernel via wheezy-backports packages before upgrading to
Jessie.
Best regards,
Jerome Kieffer

Description:
os-prober - utility to detect other OSes on a set of drives

Changes:
os-prober (1.72) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Improve logging of mounting and setting partitions to ro/rw (thanks, Ivo
De Decker).
* Use a read-only device-mapper entry if possible rather than setting the
underlying device to read-only (thanks, Ivo De Decker; closes: #701814).
Note that this introduces a dependency on dmsetup on Linux
architectures.
* Remove the "blockdev --setro" code path entirely, since the read-only
device-mapper arrangement supersedes it and should be safer (closes:
#648208).
* Make os-prober-udeb depend on grub-mount-udeb on all Linux and kFreeBSD
architectures, now that it's available on them all (thanks, James
Cowgill; closes: #776275).
* Make os-prober depend on grub-common on Linux and kFreeBSD, in order
that grub-mount is consistently available.
* Fix detection of /usr/ partition as a GNU/Linux root partition when
/lib* directories are moved to /usr/ completely (thanks, Hedayat
Vatankhah; closes: #698733).
* Make the yaboot parser more tolerant about the syntax of "append"
options (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #674561).
* Disable debugging if OS_PROBER_DISABLE_DEBUG is set (thanks, Hedayat
Vatankhah; closes: #698598).
* Replace basename/dirname with shell string processing (thanks, Hedayat
Vatankhah; part of #694668).
* Call dmraid only once (thanks, Jeff Mahoney).
* Fix typos in README (thanks, Nyav; closes: #803155).
* Add os-release support (based loosely on a patch by Török Edwin; closes:
#794409).
* Add Devuan detection (thanks, David Hare; closes: #801631).
* Work harder to avoid trying to mount extended partitions (thanks,
Philippe Coval; closes: #784709).
* Drop " (loader)" suffixes on Microsoft operating systems (thanks, Chris
Lamb; closes: #787418).
