Public bug reported:
According with the quieten-grub spec, a new "quiet" keyword should be
added to menu.lst to avoid unnecesary messages.
In my system update-grub fails to add such keyword, and I suspect that
it's the same bug that affects to the final messages in #20736
The bug is here, in /sbin/update-grub:367:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# does this version of grub support the quiet option?
if [ -f ${grub_dir}/installed-version ] && dpkg --compare-versions `cat
${grub_dir}/installed-version` ge 0.97-11ubuntu4; then
supports_quiet=true
else
supports_quiet=false
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that this scripts looks for a /boot/grub/installed-
version file. My system does _not_ have such file and supports_quiet
always is false. This is a dapper box updated to edgy, current grub
version is 0.97-11ubuntu14
Neccesary fix: Add such file
** Affects: grub (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
