Hi,
Usually I save the output of the "apt --update dist-upgrade" command
using the "script" command:
~# script -T ~/upgrade-trixie_1.time -a ~/upgrade-trixie_1.script
Sadly I forgot to change the "locale" into the "script" session running
the command:
~# export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=
so the output of "apt" was set to my locale (it_IT.UTF-8). I hope this
doesn't hurt…
I've UEFI disabled in the BIOS, it happened that during the grub-pc
package upgrade the "grub-install" command was executed installing
"grub" on the wrong MBR (/dev/sdb) since my system boots reading the
/dev/sda MBR.

IMHO it would be better if a warning appears on the screen saying that
it is necessary to update the MBR where "grub" is installed, instead to
silently update the (wrong) MBR. Any opinions?
Kind regards
