If that is the case, then it has been placed there by a recent package as I've never touched it and the two other Devuan Ascii boxen have no problem. And line #32 of that file is actually a comment. I thought it might have referred to Line #32 of /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig which s a reference to the contents of "$rootdatadir" but that is defined a few lines above as /usr/share. Plus it is identical(eyeball compare) on the affected and non-effected machine. Both the two non-effected machines have just today removed the linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 from their boot options without trouble. And as webfu hasn't turned up any pointer, I'm a little stumped ATM. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
