Hello again, Peter. This is not a bug. The maintainer script for the new kernel image package is trying to run update-grub because it is being told to do so by entries in /etc/kernel-img.conf. This file is classified as a "configuration file", and therefore user modifications to it are preserved. The Debian installer put lines in that file for grub during installation. See another recent thread for another report of the same roblem: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/03/msg02547.html Follow the "Thread Next" link for the solution. -- .''`.
