Hello Hugo,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
Sorry also that we had a regression in regards to the use of
find_my_editor() as described by yourself below.
The latest version (1:2.2.7-1) does have the correct code, so this
should be resolved.
Also, I have /etc/grub.conf as symbolic link to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-05-27 21:57 /etc/grub.conf
- /boot/grub/menu.lst
and this is working with no problems for me.
It would be great if you could try again and let me know if the two
problems persist or are resolve. I would most appreciate your feedback
either way. (I'll close the bug in four weeks time if I don't hear
anything, but active confirmation from your end would be most welcome.)
Thanks a lot best regards,
Andree

mondo-rstr-tools.c line=1663 in run_grub() has vi hardcoded:
strcpy(editor, vi); // find_my_editor() );
if you change that to:
strcpy(editor, find_my_editor());
then we're in business again.
Also if you change grub.conf from a symlink in /etc to a real file, a
copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst then the grub fail loop disappears.
This is when grub is installed as bootloader and you indicate you want
to use it, in Debian Sid.
I submitted exactly the same solution in bug #416092 for mondo
2.20-1.1 back in March. No doubt we'll see this again.
Regards,
Hugo Vanwoerkom
