Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
I upgraded some machines from jaunty to karmic. After grub2 chainload went
successful I ran upgrade-from-grub-legacy. grub-pc 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu7 is then
(or at some later time) used.
Now for every machine that has followed the scenario above, apt-get
dist-upgrade now reports it wants to remove grub-pc, while fresh karmic
installs don't report this.
So I reckon upgraders (from jaunty to karmic) that will install grub2
will encounter this problem, doesn't seem like apt is waiting for
something cause grub-common is on the list for stuff to be upgraded.
A workaround for me was to remove (the old) grub (grub 1 that is) from
the machines.... This removed grub-pc from the list of items to be
removed and added grub-pc 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu8 to the list of items to be
upgraded, in dist-upgrade.
I was under the assumption that upgrade-from-grub-legacy would remove
grub1, but it doesn't seem to do that. So now it seems the installation
of grub1 makes upgrades impossible...
