Public bug reported:
I noticed this when installing ppc64el, as boot would fail. It would fail
because no /boot/grub/grub.cfg existed.
I'm not entirely sure when we need to run update-grub.
I know that the 'install_grub' was choosing to *not* run update-grub
because sometimes dpkg-reconfigure would do the same thing, and that was
a slow operation.
Its possible there are more complex symantics involved than I
understood. But we were not running 'update-grub' in order to save some
time.
Basically, as input to 'install_grub', we have:
* the target to install to (/dev/sda1 or /dev/sda)
* the dpkg arch
* the name of the package to 'dpkg-reconfigure' (derived from the dpkg arch
and whether or not to use uefi).
we dpkg-reconfigure because we may change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to
include additional options such as console=
>From my memory, it seemed like on amd64 and i386, running 'dpkg-
reconfigure grub-pc' would end up running update-grub. I then chose not
to run update-grub because it was slow.
Colin, Is there some simple logic that I can use to determine when
running update-grub is needed?
