Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

Just upgraded to feisty and I see /sbin/update-grub is now depricated in favor of /usr/sbin/update-grub. Unfortunately the update-grub manpage still reads:

######
The update-grub script can be ran automagically from the /etc/kernel-img.conf file by adding the following lines:

       postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
       postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub
######

Obviously the location should be changed to reflect the new location.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.

This bug has been fixed in version 0.97-28 of the grub package:

grub (0.97-28) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove second /sbin/update-grub warning. Apparently, it is
    impossible to detect /etc/kernel-img.conf syntax by checking $0.
    (Closes: #421321)
  * update-grub.8: Don't recommend /sbin/update-grub anymore. (Closes: #418064)
  * control (Build-Depends): s/libc6-dev-i386/gcc-multilib/g.
  * update-grub: When GRUB 2 core.img is detected, set it as first option
    (note that first doesn't imply default).
