Drop depends on arm64 specific grub packages
commit c96f5b527eb40b50aa0be9657db544245c74dd9d
Author: Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>
Date: Sat May 16 17:11:32 2026 +0200
On failing grub-install, point users to according GRUB packages
If e.g. grub-pc-bin is missing on amd64, then grub-install fails with:
/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
2026-05-11 15:35:20,168 Running "/usr/sbin/grub-install" "--recheck" "--no-floppy" "--target=i386-pc" "--root-directory=/tmp/grml2usb6zca_m_r" "--force" "/dev/sdd"
/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
2026-05-11 15:35:20,170 Fatal: error executing grub-install (please check the grml2usb FAQ or drop the --grub option)
Provide more human friendly error message then, pointing users to the
required grub-pc-bin package. Inform also about unsupported --grub usage
on arm64/aarch64 (e.g. when trying to use an amd64 ISO with with --grub
command line option).

commit 3f951a8316fb0d3d31e544fd19b2eded04b35530

Drop depends on arm64 specific grub packages
We don't support GRUB on arm64 (only EFI boot is supported there), so
there's no point in providing those depends.

Merge pull request #113 from grml/mika/grub
Adjust Depends to have grub-pc-bin available when needed
commit d7baed8ff79c2068c6edcb69d8b75bbf337d9e44
Author: Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>
Date: Thu May 14 17:34:36 2026 +0200
Adjust Depends to improve grub-pc-bin situation
grub-pc-bin is required at least on amd64:
| /usr/sbin/grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
| 2026-05-11 15:35:20,168 Running "/usr/sbin/grub-install" "--recheck" "--no-floppy" "--target=i386-pc" "--root-directory=/tmp/grml2usb6zca_m_r" "--force" "/dev/sdd"
| /usr/sbin/grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
| 2026-05-11 15:35:20,170 Fatal: error executing grub-install (please check the grml2usb FAQ or drop the --grub option)
Depend on grub-pc-bin *or* grub-common, to get grub-pc-bin at least on
amd64 + i386 (on those archs it's available).
While at it, also unify the grub-efi-amd64-signed vs grub-efi-arm64-bin
situation.
Drop syslinux from Depends, as it's no longer used by default with more
recent Grml ISOs (we're using GRUB for both BIOS + EFI boot), but keep
it in Recommends.
