** Description changed: Binary package hint: grub2 Yesterday I was updating from karmic to lucid from a WUBI installation. During the upgrade of grub-pc, an information message appears telling me to choose in which devices grub2 showld be installed. If you press OK (like a windows user does) everything will work, but if you read the help, you'll see this: "If you're unsure which drive is designated as boot drive by your BIOS, it is often a good idea to install GRUB to all of them." This will for sure destroy everything at the bootloader level! + + TEST CASE: Install the original Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release via Wubi. + Upgrade grub-pc to version 1.98-1ubuntu7 in lucid-updates (should fail) + or to version 1.98-1ubuntu8 which I'll upload to lucid-proposed shortly + (should work). The failing case will ask a confusing question and may + render the system unbootable. The successful case should work without + asking any questions, and on the next boot the version number should + match the newly-installed version.
