Package: extlinux Version: 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1 Severity: critical Dear extlinux maintainer(s),
Having extlinux installed with no syslinux-stuff package causes system to not boot after kernel upgrade and subsequent removal of the previous kernel version. To achieve an ability to boot systems, extlinux relies on an extlinux-update utility which is now contained in syslinux-stuff package. And yet, extlinux does not depend on syslinux-stuff. Please add dependency on syslinux-stuff. (No, adding note in NEWS file is not solving the problem of silently leaving systems unbootable. Please add dependency on syslinux-stuff to the extlinux package.) Thanks in advance, Best regards – Miroslaw Baran -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (1000, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (100, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
