[Group.of.nepali.translators] [Bug 1892526] Re: dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc no longer prompts for grub-pc/install_devices
This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.02-2ubuntu8.19 --- grub2 (2.02-2ubuntu8.19) bionic; urgency=medium * grub-install: cherry-pick patch from grub-devel to make grub-install fault tolerant. Create backup of files in /boot/grub, and restore them on failure to complete grub-install. LP: #1891680 Also cherry-pick patch to make atexit work correctly. * postinst.in: do not exit successfully when failing to show critical grub-pc/install_devices_failed and grub-pc/install_devices_empty prompts in non-interactive mode. This enables surfacing upgrade errors to the users and/or automation. LP: #1891680 LP: #1896608 * postinst.in: do not attempt to call grub-install upon fresh install of grub-pc because it it a job of installers to do that after fresh install. Fixup for the issue unmasked by above. LP: #1891680 * postinst.in: Fixup postinst.in, to attempt grub-install upon explicit dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc.
