Debian Sid updated Grub today and when os-prober ran via update-grub it did not detect
my OpenSuse Tumbleweed partition.
The update had installed the new Grub so I could not boot into
Tumbleweed.

Now I have held all the grub packages so I won't be faced
with this again. The Tumbleweed grub installation and it's version
of os-prober does detect both Debian and Fedora on another partition.
FYI Fedoras os-prober also doesn't detect Tumbleweed but that's a
problem I'll report to them.

Hi Frank,

This is most likely a grub issue - the defaults have changed to *not*
run os-prober by default.

If so, edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
then run update-grub this will fix your problem. Or run
dpkg-reconfigure on your grub package (either grub-pc or
grub-efi-amd64) and the latest grub packages will ask you about
os-prober.
