Package: grub-common Version: 1.98+20100527-2 Severity: important Hi,
while hunting down http://bugs.debian.org/584371 , it appears that from version 1.98+20100527, grub-mkimage requires a -O, --format option to be set, otherwise it throws an unclear "Target not specified". IMHO there are two things: i) the error message is misleading (_Target_ not specified, where the --help speaks about _format_) ii) it used to use a (supposedly sane) default and now it requires -O Thanks for considering, Cheers, OdyX -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (750, 'unstable'), (700, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (700, 'testing'), (90, 'experimental'), (50, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (50, 'experimental'), (50, 'unstable'), (50, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-common depends on: ii base-files 5.7 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii dpkg 1.15.7.2 Debian package management system ii gettext-base 0.18-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.1-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.47-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages grub-common recommends: ii os-prober 1.38 utility to detect other OSes on a Versions of packages grub-common suggests: pn grub-emu <none> (no description available) pn multiboot-doc <none> (no description available) pn xorriso <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
