Package: linux-image
Severity: important

Everytime I execute "dpkg --purge linux-image-xxxxxx", the command gets
stocked, and I need to kill the dpkg process to stop it. For example, I
executed "sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.14-2-386" previously, and
here is the output:

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1-686
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-686
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
dpkg always stops on this line, and "never returns".  The same holds
true when purging other version of linux images. I got this problem on
two totally different machines both of which run debian sid. I think
this is an important issue, and should be fixed as soon as possible. I
know I can manully edit menu.lst of grub, but this is not what dpkg is
designed for, which tries to make things automatic.
