It looks like I'm still having this issue with beta 4 in the karmic final, although it may or may not have degraded further: the abovementioned workaround involving a non-zero value for GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT does not appear to work, and GRUB boots to a menu on every occasion; the only case where it

It's an unversioned dependency, so the old version satisfies the dependency just as well and therefore apt doesn't bother to upgrade it. (This may be an error in how the dependency is declared, but it's how it is right now.) Can we call this a bug? It seems pointless to have a dummy package

apt-get install grub2 updated the grub2 package to 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu8. This appears to have fixed the problem, i.e. I ran grub-install /dev/sda and then changed the value of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT back to 0 (the package default) GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 ran grub-update, and the machine still

The grub2 package itself contains nothing of any note. grub-common and grub-pc are the packages it depends on that actually do something, and you'd need to upgrade those. If you saw any effect from upgrading grub2 on its own, it was coincidental. Package: grub2 Depends: grub-pc Description: GRand

Yes, I understand, that's the point. If grub2 depends on grub-pc, shouldn't this have updated as well when I updated grub2? I noticed the grub problem on the initial install of alpha4 (or the current daily build, I can't remember which) and worked around it as outlined in the bug report. When
