Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080213-1
Followup-For: Bug #465708
I upgrades my system from grub to grub-pc some time ago. After the
upgrade I cleaned up /boot/grub/ and removed all old grub files,
especially /boot/grub/menu.lst
Now upgrading grub-pc fails because of the following:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.config:3
if test -e /boot/grub/menu.lst ; then
...
db_get grub-pc/linux_cmdline
if [ "$RET" = "fillme" ] ; then
...
db_set grub-pc/linux_cmdline "${kopt}" || true
...
db_input ${priority} grub-pc/linux_cmdline || true
fi
...
fi
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.templates:41
Template: grub-pc/linux_cmdline
Type: string
Default: fillme
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst:15
db_get grub-pc/linux_cmdline
if [ "$RET" == "fillme" ] ; then
# wtf?!
echo "Internal error in grub-pc package. Please file a bug report." >&2
exit 1
Since I no longer have /boot/grub/menu.lst, the part from
"grub-pc.config" never triggers and "grub-pc/linux_cmdline" keeps it
default "fillme" from "grub-pc.template", causing "grub-pc.postinst" to
fail miserably.
