  • Bug#265915: Should exclude .dpkg-* from kernel list

    From Matt Zimmerman@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 20:10:09 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: grub
    Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-7
    Severity: normal

    I just saw this happen, when upgrading a kernel-image package to a new
    version:

    Unpacking replacement kernel-image-2.6.7-1-386 ...
    Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
    Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst . Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-1-386
    Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-1-386.dpkg-tmp
    Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

    The .dpkg-tmp file is a temporary dpkg file which existed only during the upgrade. I suggest excluding .dpkg-* (at least) from the list.

    The package that appear to be failing is kernel-image-foo. What does its postinst do?

    I've seen this too but usually the install runs update-grub twice, the
    second time this file does not exists.

    It's a stock 2.6.7 kernel-image, and I have the following configuration:

    mizar:[~] cat /etc/kernel-img.conf
    link_in_boot = yes
    relative_links = yes
    postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
    postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub
    do_bootloader = no
    do_initrd = yes
