Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100617-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze
Hi,
the current version of grub-common in testing (1.98-1) breaks update-grub when
using grub-legacy.
It does nothing, all it says is:
/boot/grub# update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
/boot/grub#
Updating to the version in unstable (1.98-20100617-1) solves this problem.
Regards,
Pedro

OK, that indicates that this was very probably #550704. I'm closing
this bug with this message; with a little bit more luck, a fixed version
should reach testing this weekend.
