No, not really. Just a random idea to get information sharing going. :) > Does grub-installer really require grub to be installed when built? > I hope not. No, of course not. It was just an idea to document within the current package framework that grub-installer need grub to be available on a given architecture to be useful. > Although i'm not sure of the details but is grub required by > grub-installer and hence should depend on it? Yes, and no. grub-installer is a debian-installer module, and need grub to be installed into /target/ by the base-installer udeb. But there is no way to specify this dependency within the current package framework. When the isinstallable udeb control file start working, one can install grub-installer into d-i on all architectures, and it will only show up on the menu if /target/sbin/grub is available. But then grub-installer could be make architecture independant, ie arch=all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
