The reason these extra files get placed in /boot/grub is that grub- install is called to update the wubildr file, and grub-install calls grub-install.real (for wubi) and that copies the files (in the following code grubdir is /boot/grub and pkglibdir is /usr/lib/grub/<target cpu>/):
for file in ${pkglibdir}/*.mod ${pkglibdir}/*.lst; do cp -f $file ${grubdir} || exit 1 done if [ "${target_cpu}-${platform}" = "i386-pc" ] || [ "${target_cpu}-${platform}" = "sparc64-ieee1275" ] ; then for file in ${pkglibdir}/*.img ${pkglibdir}/efiemu??.o; do if test -f $file; then cp -f $file ${grubdir} || exit 1 fi done fi ========================= I suppose an easy temp fix would be to change lupin's grub-install to clean up /boot/grub on the way out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653134 Title: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
