Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kexec-tools
When grub is installed but /boot/grub is not configured (e.g. for live CD), kexec-tools (20090000-2.0.0ubuntu11) should not exit when running postinst when installing the kexec-tools deb package. This is the problem I found when using cdebootstrap to create an Ubuntu live system. How to reproduce it: 1. Install cdebootstrap 2. edit /usr/share/cdebootstrap/suites, append Suite: karmic Config: generic-ubuntu Keyring: ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg 3. Run: cdebootstrap --debug --allow-unauthenticated --include=sysv-rc,upstart,system-services,grub,kexec-tools -f minimal karmic ./karmic http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu It will exit in: O: Setting up kexec-tools (20090000-2.0.0ubuntu11) ... P: Configuring package kexec-tools D: Updating kexec-tools to status 3 O: Generating /etc/default/kexec... O: Searching for GRUB installation directory ... O: O: No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first. To install grub, install it manually or try the 'grub-install' command. ### Warning, grub-install is used to change your MBR. ### O: O: dpkg: error processing kexec-tools (--configure): O: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Verbose results were attached. ** Affects: kexec-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kexec-tools should not exit when there is no /boot/grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
