package grub reopen 393079 found 393079 0.97-32 found 393079 0.97-35 stop Followup-For: Bug #39307 Package: grub Version: 0.97-35
Another two options were introduced in /boot/grub/menu.lst that affect 'update-grub': ## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system ## can be true or false # updatedefaultentry=true ## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options ## can be true or false # savedefault=true Given that I have "default saved" any execution of update-grub fails with: piti:~# update-grub Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... expr: non-numeric argument I've executed the script with debug and found this: piti:~# bash -ex /usr/sbin/update-grub [..] + use_grub_set_default=false + test true = true ++ sed -ne 's/^[[:blank:]]*default[[:blank:]]*\(.*\).*/\1/p' /boot/grub/menu.lst + defaultEntryNumber=saved + '[' saved = saved ']' ++ sed q /boot/grub/default + defaultEntryNumber=default + use_grub_set_default=true + test -n default ++ expr default + 1 expr: non-numeric argument + defaultEntryNumberPlusOne= piti:~# This is the line from the script that fails: defaultEntryNumberPlusOne=$(expr $defaultEntryNumber \+ 1); Obviously it fails because $defaultEntryNumber is 'saved', not an integer. PS: grub does not depend or recommend 'bash' but the script starts with: #!/bin/bash I recommend to remove the "bashism" and replace the interpreter to /bin/sh because for "lenny" this is a release goal.
