Bug Description

'grub-emu-lite' failed to start 'normal' mode (command 'normal' in module 'normal.mod') due to missing license information in 'datetime.mod'.

Source Package: grub2 (2.06-2ubuntu7)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/grub2

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04

$ apt-cache policy grub-emu
grub-emu:
  Installed: 2.06-2ubuntu7.2
  Candidate: 2.06+42~3412~0915c308b~ubuntu22.04.1

Expected behavior:
Command 'grub-emu-lite -d /usr/lib/grub'
starts properly in terminal UI mode ('normal.mod' module)

Actual behavior:
Command 'grub-emu-lite -d /usr/lib/grub'
fail to start properly and starts only in "rescue mode" instead.

Command output:
$ grub-emu-lite -d /usr/lib/grub
error: incompatible license.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> normal
Unknown command `normal'.

I suggest working a bit on the commit message and then git-send-email the patch to <email address hidden> so that it can be applied upstream, this is not something we should carry downstream.

Thanks for quick response!
I was not sure how should I propose patch to upstream.
I will post link to upstream bug when it will be created.
