The Problem is that update-grub exactly uses this three-way merging option.
If you have a look at the update-grub script grep -i three-way /usr/sbin/update-grub should give you a hit. apt-cache policy grub Gives: grub: Installed: 0.97-29ubuntu21 Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu21 Version table: *** 0.97-29ubuntu21 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status with dpkg -S update-grub I found that update-grub is in the grub package. Hope this is more clear and verifiable now. ** Attachment added: "update-grub script which contains a tree-way merge check with ucf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14465809/update-grub -- ucf < 3.006 breaks update-grub in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226708 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
