[Bug 1995991] [NEW] /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober creates broken initrd entries if there are several .img

[Andrey G.]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober creates broken initrd entries if there
are more than one *.img: they are separated by ^ instead of space. As a
result Ubuntu Grub fails to dual-boot Manjaro and the likes.

The type of broken /boot/grub/grub.cfg entry it creates:
        initrd /boot/amd-ucode.img^/boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img
Should be:
        initrd /boot/amd-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img


Cause of error: /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober, line 255:
 LINITRD="`echo ${LINUX} | cut -d ':' -f 5`"
Should be:
 LINITRD="`echo ${LINUX} | cut -d ':' -f 5 | tr '^' ' '`"

(earlier in the script spaces are replaced by ^, here forgotten to
reverse)

This is already fixed in e.g. Manjaro.
