Package: grub Version: 0.97-47lenny1 Severity: serious Justification: Prevents kernel (and system) upgrades
Just in case random folks read this bugreport, that's 0.97-47lenny1 from an unstable system, while 0.97-47 is currently in lenny. Don't ask me why. That says it all: ,-- | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-grub ; echo $? | Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub | 1 `-- → Any aptitude/apt-get/omglolpackagemanager round breaks. So be it. Let's debug: ,-- | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/update-grub -h | Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/update-grub --help | Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /sbin/update-grub -v | Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /sbin/update-grub --verbose | Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub `-- No, having to resort to *strace* doesn't seem like a suitable approach for grub in the next stable release. No, pointing to grub2 won't help fix this particular problem in grub, mind you. Yes, that also applies to 0.97-51. -- Cyril Brulebois -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/talisker-root / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/talisker-home /home ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/menu.lst # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/. ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.
