Edbuntu, Unfortunately, /var/run/grub is cleared on each reboot. This is normally exactly what we want - it just makes it more difficult to debug when there are problems with merging. :(
The one thing I note from your menu.lst.bak is that the UUID value in your boot stanzas, and the UUID value from the "kopt" magic variable, differ. This explains why a merge was needed, and also explains (in theory) why a merge would fail. That bears some more investigation, as we might be able to improve the merge handling for this specific, common case. I'm not marking this bug as confirmed though, because you don't appear to be the original reporter of this bug. I would suggest that you file a new bug report with the details of your upgrade, since Mike's problem may not have been the same as yours. -- package update-manager 1:0.93.35 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
