Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091125-1
Severity: important
When upgrading grub, the setup stage hangs until I hit control-c.
Setting up grub-pc (1.97+20091125-1) ...
^Cdpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)
The hang seems to be in this line in grub-pc.postinst:
db_subst grub-pc/install_devices CHOICES `grub-mkdevicemap -m - | sed -e
"/^(fd[0-9]\+)/d;s,.*\t,,g" | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e 's/,$//g;s/,/, /g'`

Hi,
After alignment with Steve, I'm closing these old bugs in src:grub2 as
they seem to lack the required information to make them actionable.
If new information surfaces to reproduce the bug or maybe even a fix,
the bug can be unarchived and reopened.
