Yes, I was disappointed about that too. What I copied was the entirety
of the log. /var/log/dpkg.log.1 finishes a couple of weeks ago when the
computer was last used -- I have been away. It started normally when I
came back. I had closed down and restarted once since my return, again
completely normal operation of grub at startup. I have done nothing
extraordinary in these last few days, certainly nothing that could allow
me to delete /boot/grub in error (and as root!), so I am as sure as I
can be that one of the install scripts listed above must have done it.
But there is no more information in the log than I gave, so whichever
did it was being sneaky.
Hmm, just had a nasty thought: Even on this slow GPRS connection, I
suppose the unthinkable may have happened... It would be an odd choice
of malice, though... and chkrootkit says all clear there.
I am developing a nervous habbit of tapping 'ls /boot'...
Oh dear. Thanks, Bob.
