Package: grub Version: 0.97-2 Followup-For: Bug #346544 The problem is here:
# Set the kernel 2.6 option only for fresh install test -z "$(GetMenuOpt "kopt" "")" && kopt_2_6="root=$root_device_2_6 ro" # Extract options for specific kernels eval $(ExtractMenuOpts "\(kopt_[a-zA-Z0-9_]\+\)") If the first test fails and the eval argument is empty then dash terminate with exitcode 1. This is a simple testcase: tm:~# bash -c "set -e ;/bin/false && : ; eval ''; echo 'END'"; echo $? END 0 tm:~# dash -c "set -e ;/bin/false && : ; eval ''; echo 'END'"; echo $? 1 if you insert any command with successfull exit status before the empty eval, all work ok: tm:~# bash -c "set -e ;/bin/false && : ; : ; eval ''; echo 'END'"; echo $? END 0 tm:~# dash -c "set -e ;/bin/false && : ; : ; eval ''; echo 'END'"; echo $? END 0 So, the simplest workarround is to invert the condition before the eval (patch for update-grub is attached).
