[Bug 1660159] Re: os-prober fails to see other installed systems

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package os-prober - 1.73ubuntu3

---------------
os-prober (1.73ubuntu3) zesty; urgency=medium

  * Think-o; re-add the is_dos_extended() function in common.sh which went
    missing. This is the right fix for the removal of the test in main
    os-prober, but is still required elsewhere in os-prober. (LP: #1660159)
