Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-16
Severity: normal

Hi,

today the linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 (2.6.32-16) package failed for me during the
configuration phase. When the postinst script is run manually, the following
happens:

$ sudo LANG=C /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-`uname -r`.postinst configure
Running depmod.
Running update-initramfs.
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
initrd.img(/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
) points to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
 (/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686) -- doing nothing at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-
image-2.6.32-5-686.postinst line 379.
vmlinuz(/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
) points to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
 (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686) -- doing nothing at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-
image-2.6.32-5-686.postinst line 379.
Running update-grub.
User postinst hook script [update-grub] failed to execute: No such file or
directory

So it fails to start update-grub, which is expected as I have purged all grub
packages from my system and replaced it with the extlinux bootloader instead.
However, grub-pc is still set as postinst_hook in /etc/kernel-img.conf:

$ grep grub /etc/kernel-img.conf
postinst_hook = update-grub
postrm_hook   = update-grub

Please note that I have never ever touched this file. It should not blindly
rely the existance of update-grub.

Cheers,
Fabian
