Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Multiple install devices are stored with comma separators. When the
postinst script checks for the existence of each device, it does not
remove the commas, so it will always fail. Every upgrade asks again for
install devices because the test thinks they're missing. Another
section of postinst removes the commas with sed, so I copied that in the
included patch.
