Package: grub Version: 0.97-12 Severity: normal Suppose you have kernel 2.6.15-1-somearch installed, and also have 2.6.15-1-somearch-somesuffix.
If you set the default kernel to 2.6.15-1-somearch, and run update-grub with grub's 'update the default setting to continue pointing to the same kernel' setting switched on, it resets the default to point at 2.6.15-1-somearch-somesuffix! This is because in the grep used to find the proper line, there is no end anchor, so 2.6.15-1-somearch-somesuffix matches when grub is looking for 2.6.15-1-somearch. (Also, the grep didn't seem to be making any attempt to escape regexp metacharacters - since kernel versions always contain '.', this could be potentially hazardous too.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
