[Solved]Sudently grub-mkconfig doens't found any OS other than arch

After today's update(I cannot think other reason), grub-mkconfig doesn't found any of my other Installations.
grub mkconfgig -o.... gives this output:

Generating grub.cfg ...
Found theme: /boot/grub/themes/archlinux/theme.txt
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
  No volume groups found
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/os-prober/mount': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/os-prober/mount': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/os-prober/mount': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/os-prober/mount': No such file or directory
done

Any help?

This may not be the right thing to do but was able to fix it by recreating the directory '/var/lib/os-prober/mount' after updating the os-prober package.

A proper fix in the packaging scripts should be done if that is the cause of the problem.
