reopen 593683 thanks Hi guys, s390-tools, lilo, and elilo are the only bootloaders for which Breaks: were added in the recent upload. However, there are reports[1],[2] of serious upgrade failures resulting from not upgrading grub before trying to upgrade the kernel; and the grub in lenny definitely does not comply with the new kernel hooks policy (/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub only exists in the squeeze versions). Is this an oversight, or is there some other explanation for why grub was being left in an inconsistent state for these users? (Reopening the bug out of an abundance of caution; if lenny grub really doesn't need to be added to the Breaks, please close again - but please also let me know why, so we can write the release notes appropriately.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
