Package: grub2-common Version: 2.02~beta2-36 Severity: normal File: /usr/sbin/update-grub
When you upgrade a packaged Debian kernel, the old kernel and initrd are preserved under names ending with `.bak`. update-grub should sort these after the new kernel when generating the menu (so the default is to boot into the new kernel). It used to do this, but quite recently it has started sorting the backup kernels *first*, which is wrong. Observe: (Reading database ... 257654 files and directories currently installed.)

(Note: My configuration is slightly weird in that the EFI partition is mounted at /boot, not /boot/EFI.) zw -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sda2 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0033,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,tz=UTC,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/bcache0 /home xfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,attr2,inode64,sunit=1024,swidth=3072,noquota 0 0 /dev/bcache0 /var xfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,attr2,inode64,sunit=1024,swidth=3072,noquota 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-CT120BX100SSD1_1511F00440EA (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_DT01ACA300_256D4LUGS (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_DT01ACA300_256D4NPGS *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
