Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-21
Severity: critical
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
I'm not sure if this breaks the system. I suspect it does, but i'm not willing
to restart my system if there is a change it won't boot afterwards.
* What led up to the situation?
Did:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
grub-pc : Depends: grub2-common (= 1.99-21) but 1.99-22 is installed
Depends: grub-pc-bin (= 1.99-21) but 1.99-22 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried:
apt-get -f install grub-pc
* What was the outcome of this action?
The following packages will be upgraded:
grub-pc
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.

Sorry, but this isn't a bug in the grub2 packaging. You have some odd
local inconsistency in the set of packages installed on your system, and
apt sometimes responds to this by dropping into a very conservative mode
and refusing to follow dependency chains.

If apt-listchanges is broken, it has nothing to do with grub-pc. I
don't know whether this caused your problem; it seems a little unlikely
but I suppose it's possible.

The version of grub-pc in testing and unstable is 1.99-22, and I have
double-checked that it depends on grub2-common (= 1.99-22) and
grub-pc-bin (= 1.99-22), not 1.99-21. This looks like an attempt to
install a slightly older version of grub-pc for some reason, which won't
work.
Try 'apt-get -f install' with no arguments, although be careful about
any packages it proposes removing. Failing that, try 'apt-get install
grub-pc=1.99-22' to force the correct version. Failing that, try
downloading the .deb for grub-pc 1.99-22 directly and installing it with
dpkg. It should be entirely possible to get out of whatever tangled
state things are in.
