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. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (989, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.2-laptop (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii base-files 4.0.2 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii liblzo1 1.08-3 data compression library (old vers ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub-pc recommends no packages. -- debconf information: grub-pc/linux_cmdline: fillme * grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
