Now I discover that this has trashed the MBR on my desktop workstation
as well (so I'm setting the status to "Confirmed") ; not only have there
been updates to the package with the bootloader in, there have been
MULTIPLE updates (one of which trashed the laptop, one of which has
trashed the desktop). This has been deeply inconvenient.
A dist-update from Jaunty to Karmic doesn't upgrade grub to grub2
(AFAIK), so why should a fresh install be different and upgrade the
version of grub?
I've added the following file to my config... hopefully this will
suppress the package updates and thus this behaviour, but I'll be
keeping a sharp eye on the updates list in future.
# /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02holdgrub
HoldPkgs { "grub-pc"; };
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- update-grub writes MBR without prompt or backup
+ update to grub-pc writes MBR without checks, prompt or backup
