When updating the GRUB2 package on a clean install of CRUX Linux I recently stumbled upon the following error:

1# prt-get update grub2
2...
3Pkgfile: line 28: ./grub-mkfont: No such file or directory"

The solution for this issue was simple - the freetype package was missing. This package is needed for generating GRUB fonts. Installing that package did the trick for me:

 1# prt-get install freetype
 2# prt-get update grub2
 3...
 4=======> Building '/usr/ports/opt/grub2/grub2#2.00-4.pkg.tar.gz' succeeded.
 5prt-get: updating grub2 from 2.00-3 to 2.00-4

Thanks for the support, jaeger (from the CRUX Linux core team)! 🙂
