Package: grub
Version: 0.97-12
Severity: normal
This has been observed by several people on debian-user-german, both on
sid and on sarge with 0.97-11bpo2. When grub-reboot is invoked, it
displays commands that look correct:
riesling:~# grub-reboot 5
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> savedefault --once --default=5
grub> quit
Do you want to reboot now? [y/N]
riesling:~#
But the next reboot just goes to the default OS, not to the sixth entry
in menu.lst.

Apologies; this wasn't sent as part of the dak rm action. I'm doing
this by hand. Since this was manual, this opens the chance for me taking
action by mistake.
I got the list of bugs via UDD, and am closing via -close on BCC. I spot
checked about 10 of the bugs, and they're all src:grub. The COUNT
matches the tracker page, so I'm sending this.
If I have closed a bug that's not about bin:grub or src:grub, please do
re-open the bug.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
grub | 0.97-84 | source
grub-legacy | 0.97-84 | amd64, i386
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; dead upstream, replaced by grub2
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1110934
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
[email protected].
