** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu Trusty)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
** No longer affects: grub (Ubuntu Utopic)
** Description changed:
[Impact]
* Upgrading to mdadm/trusty package fails, if the machine is using
grub1
[Test Case]
* Install grub1 - package grub (I've installed 8.04 LTS from old-
releases.ubuntu.com first and upgraded to each consecutive LTS release
up to 14.04)
* Upgrading to mdadm/trusty should not stall & should not execute
grub1's update-grub & should succeed normally
[Regression Potential]
* This bug does not affect installations that use grub2, default since
9.04
[Other Info]

[Original bug report]
I'm unable to upgrade my Dell PowerEdge T105 from Saucy to Trusty
because madm freezes during the update grub process during setup. This
system was originally installed in April of 2009 with Hardy 8.04 and has
successfully upgraded from revision to revision since then. This is the
first time madm has failed to upgrade.
Yesterday evening I ran do-release-upgrade -d and it froze at:

It sat there for about half an hour so I canceled the do-release-upgrade
and tried to recover with the usual steps after cleaning out some stale
kernels:

At this point mdadm setup still just sits forever. If I hit Ctrl-C:
