Thankyou very much for this information. But is there anyone out there
who skims through tons of SUCCESSFUL emerge log files after every rou-
tine upgrade? Personally, I only check the logs in case of build fai-
lures or conflicts.
By the way, I only see this message in the build logs for versions 2.06-
r4 and 2.06-r6, but not in older logs. So maybe that's a rather new ad-
dition to the ebuild file?
Since I do my routine upgrades via a script anyway, I now retrieve the
name of the most recent Grub build log before I really start "emerge"
and after "emerge" finished, and if the two names differ and the newer
file contains this "Re-run ..." message, I now run "grub-install" from
within this script. Problem solved.
But I have the vague feeling there should be a more foolproof solution.
Sincerely,
Rainer
