Package: grub-common Version: 1.98-1 Severity: normal I cannot update my system anymore as grub-probe stops the installation and deinstallation of memtest86+

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/memtest86+_4.00-2.3_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: I have a relative simple setup.There is a sda and sdb. sda has sda1 which is /boot and sda2 which is crypted and then part one of an lvm. sdb1 has only crypted and then part 2 of the lvm. Inside the lvm is a "root-lvm" which is / and a swap partition. The root partition is a simple ext4 partition. The device is /dev/dm-3 and it for example linked in /dev/root and /dev/block/254:3 and /dev/lvm1/root-lvm and lvm1-root--lvm It must have been worked in the past because I updated grub in the past. I've also tried to run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-common` and mark all my devices to install grub into their boot sectors, but at the end I only get Installation finished. No error reported. Installation finished. No error reported. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). So first thing: I don't understand why grub should be interested in my / ... there is a /boot mounted. $ mount|grep boot /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) I've also tried grub-probe from unstable and it just says: ./grub-probe: error: no such disk. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-1-686 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 testing ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =============================-+-============= base-files (>= 4.0.1~) | 5.7 dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | 1.15.7.2 OR install-info | 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 OR dpkg (<= 1.14.25) | 1.15.7.2 libc6 (>= 2.3) | 2.11.1-3 libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1) | 2.3.11-1 zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) | 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 gettext-base | 0.17-11 Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================-+-=========== os-prober (>= 1.33) | 1.35 Suggests (Version) | Installed ============================-+-=========== multiboot-doc | grub-emu | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
