Package: grub-common Version: 1.98~20100101-1 Severity: minor
shipping the grub.info (which documents -- weakly -- the 1.x version of grub) in this package can be extremely confusing because grub-legacy (i.e. grub 0.x) depends on grub-common. Moreover, grub-legacy-doc doesn't register *its* info file with install-info, unlike grub-common. Thus, when you install grub-legacy and grub-legacy-doc with apt, you'll actually see the grub 1.x document in the info directory when you run the info command or do C-h i in emacs. Given the nature of grub, this could mislead someone into making their system unbootable. Maybe the info file should be in its own package grub-doc-info or something. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.3-core2-i (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-common depends on: ii base-files 5.0.0 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii dpkg 1.15.5.5 Debian package management system ii gettext-base 0.17-8 GNU Internationalization utilities ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages grub-common recommends: pn os-prober <none> (no description available) Versions of packages grub-common suggests: pn grub-emu <none> (no description available) pn multiboot-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
