Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.51-2 Severity: important Tags: patch I have a laptop I irregularly use. Before departure (usually offline, like travelling), I "apt-get -d dist-ugprade" and then install the package offline. On my last trip, suddenly grub-probe broke the upgrade, claiming not to find the root device (which was clearly there, on encrypted lvm). If needed, I can provide you the exact error message. I invested quite some time assuming a local configuration error but to no avail. Once I had network again, I discovered that this is an error in grub2, which is fixed in 1.98+20100527-1 in grub2 (as of #550704) but this version is still not in testing (which I use). So the current combination of lvm2 and grub2 does not reliably work.
So please add a
Breaks: grub2 << 1.98+20100527-1
to debian/control to prevent grub2 users from updating lvm2 *before*
grub2 (as the situation currently in testing or partial updates).
