Package: grub
Version: 0.97-39
Severity: important


Hello,

I'm trying to switch from lilo to grub on my macbook.
As per [1], I made sure the gpt/mbr table are in sync:

kinder:/etc# gptsync /dev/sda

Current GPT partition table:
 #      Start LBA      End LBA  Type
 1             40       409639  EFI System (FAT)
 2         409640     88490023  Mac OS X HFS+
 3       88752168    176832551  EFI System (FAT)
 4      176832552    234441607  Basic Data

Current MBR partition table:
 # A    Start LBA      End LBA  Type
 1              1       409639  ee  EFI Protective
 2         409640     88490023  af  Mac OS X HFS+
 3 *     88752168    176832551  ef  EFI System (FAT)
 4      176832552    234441607  0b  FAT32

Status: Tables are synchronized, no need to sync.

Anyway grub-install fails to read /boot/grub/stage1

kinder:~# grub-install "(hd0)"
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

Using find in the grub shell does not work either:

grub> find stage1

Error 15: File not found

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

Error 15: File not found

grub>

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].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
