package: grub-common
version: 2.02-2
Hi,
grub-mkconfig (called by update-grub amongst others) has:
if fgrep -qs '${GRUB_PREFIX}/video.lst'
"${grub_mkconfig_dir}/00_header"; then
echo "GRUB >= 2.00 has been unpacked but not yet configured." >&2
echo "grub-mkconfig will not work until the upgrade is complete." >&2
echo "It should run later as part of configuring the new GRUB
packages." >&2
exit 0
fi
On upgrading a (very old) system, dpkg didn't over-write
/etc/grub.d/00_header and instead created 00_header.dpkg-dist . The
upgrade seemingly worked, but in fact the new bootloader didn't get
installed.
I think this code should be removed, and grub-mkconfig should in fact
error out in this case, rather than exiting 0.
Thanks,
Matthew
