Bug#738577: grub-efi: incompatable licence error

[Ben Hildred]

My server runs stable so I ssh to it and start typing:
sudo aptitude install grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-ia32-bin # this installs
version 1.99-27+deb7u2
grub-mkimage -p /EFI64/grub -O x86_64-efi -o grub64.efi `ls
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi  | sed -n 's/\.mod//gp' `
grub-mkimage -p /EFI32/grub -O i386-efi -o grub32.efi `ls
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi  | sed -n 's/\.mod//gp' `
# this is the problem image when served by tftp or started from the efi
shell on my test machine it gives an error waits for a key press and exits.
# head over to stack exchange copy Sukminder's code to the clip board
xclip -o >grub_lic_test.c
gcc -o grub_lic_test32 grub_lic_test.c
gcc -o grub_lic_test64 grub_lic_test.c -DELF64
./grub_lic_test32 /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/*.mod
./grub_lic_test64 /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/*.mod
# the previous two commands show errors with adler32.mod so I run the next
two commands which give images that don't have that problem.
grub-mkimage -p /EFI64/grub -O x86_64-efi -o grub64.efi `ls
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi  | sed -n 's/\.mod//gp' |grep -v adler32`
grub-mkimage -p /EFI32/grub -O i386-efi -o grub32.efi `ls
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi  | sed -n 's/\.mod//gp' |grep -v adler32`
