Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
This system was updated online to Karmic from 9.04, leaving the legacy
grub in place (0.97-29ubuntu45).
When I ran Update Manager today, one of the listed upgrades was for
grub-common (version 2) - as follows:
Changes for the versions:
1.97~beta3-1ubuntu6
1.97~beta3-1ubuntu7
Version 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu7:
* debian/grub-common.init: /boot/grub/grubenv sometimes seems to end up
zero-sized for some reason. If it is, just delete it (LP: #439784).
I'm not sure what files are involved, other than possibly
/boot/grub/grubenv, but this seems inappropriate for a system which is
using the legacy grub. The upgrade program should detect the fact that
the legacy grub is installed, and leave it alone, unless the files being
updated are appropriate for the 0.97 grub.
