Package: grub-pc Severity: normal
Hi, > If it was presented to you, was there something misleading about it? What I find misleading is that a dummy user might think: "well, until now Debian folks have been very cautious with the grub upgrade: there is the chainload stuff and it requires me to explicitely use upgrade-grub-legacy, so they couldn't break everything without an extra-big-red-bold-letters warning, could they? what they ask in this dialog is probably the drives where the chainload should take place, isn't it? or maybe this is some configuration file that is being set-up, but it cannot have any effect on my system as long as I did not run that silly upgrade-grub-legacy..." I am that dummy user who just lost an afternoon with SystemRescue CD to restore grub-legacy, and a co-worker would have made the same mistake if I hadn't stopped him, so trust me: a big warning would be more than welcome. [One might argue that dummy users should not use unstable, of course.] Regards, Gabriel Kerneis -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.97~beta4-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-27 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0022 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
