I found this during upgrading our Zimbra server from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS with
root@zimbra:~# dpkg -l | grep grub-pc ii grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu10[...] So this bug is not fixed completely, one year after release of a long term support edition of Ubuntu and almost one year after reporting it. This makes me wonder, cause I assumed that Ubuntu LTS 10.04 was supposed to be a stabler branch of Ubuntu. Manual work around I applied: root@zimbra:~# debconf-show grub-pc grub-pc/kopt_extracted: true grub2/kfreebsd_cmdline: * grub-pc/install_devices: grub-pc/postrm_purge_boot_grub: false grub-pc/disk_description: * grub2/linux_cmdline: * grub-pc/install_devices_empty: true grub2/kfreebsd_cmdline_default: quiet grub-pc/partition_description: grub-pc/install_devices_failed: false grub-pc/install_devices_disks_changed: * grub2/linux_cmdline_default: quiet splash * grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst: true grub-pc/hidden_timeout: true grub-pc/timeout: 3 root@zimbra:~# echo get grub-pc/install_devices | debconf-communicate 0 install_devices is not set, debconf *should* ask.

I never seen something like this in any version of debian stable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580408 Title: Option 'No' at question 'Continue without installing GRUB?' does nothing.
