This kind of thing happens because each package has scripts to make sure needed stuff gets done, and there's no mechanism for telling it that more things are going to change again later.
do-release-upgrade doesn't know the details of what every package does in its postinst. Things don't happen in one giant set of installs and removals; instead there are smaller batches of changes to minimize how much stuff has to run while there are broken dependencies. Is there a way to flag launchpad bugs as wishlist? Even if so, it's hard to imagine any way to minimize repeated work without making it more vulnerable to being left broken on errors / interruptions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310087 Title: update-grub run multiple times during distribution upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1310087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
