Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub-pc
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10
apt-cache policy grub-pc
grub-pc:
Installed: 1.98+20100804-4ubuntu6
Candidate: 1.98+20100804-4ubuntu6
Version table:

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 beta
Performing a "System, Administration, Upgrade Manager" upgrade, which
includes an update to Grub.
What happened:
First dialog box lists root partition and /dev/sda11 partition with empty
checkboxes, asks which partition to install Grub to. I select /dev/sda11 , I
click "Forward". Second dialog box asks "Continue without installing Grub to
any partitions?" (paraphrasing); checkbox not selected. I click "Forward" and
am returned to the first dialog box, with /dev/sda11 already checked. I click
forward again, and second dialog box shows again, asking "Continue without
installing Grup to any partitions?" I select the checkbox and click "Forward",
then the detail screen shows that Grub is being installed anyway! Not sure to
which partition.
What I expect to happen:
Grub should install to /dev/sda11 after I click "Forward" on the first dialog
box. Since a partition was selected the second dialog box should not appear.
If I check the box for "Continue without installing Grub to any
partitions?" then I expect that the upgrade will continue without
installing Grub to any partitions.
Thanx,
--Bob.
