Was it moved from the Arch repos to AUR? Or was it always in AUR?

It's currently in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/update-grub

update-grub was part of grub 2:2.12-2, but in the recent 2:2.12-3 installing was removed. I don't know why.

It was part of the grub package, as observed above, I don't know why it has gone either. It was specially added to the Artix package, but wasn't in the Arch one, it was a non-standard element, because of frequent forum requests. After seeing this post and before updating grub, I ran

Code: [Select]

# cp /usr/bin/update-grub /usr/local/bin

which is going back to my personal solution before update-grub was introduced.
