I've moved this to 'low' on vm-builder, and made it affect grub2 in ubuntu. Hopefully cjwatson can tell me if I'm wrong. Generally, though, grub-pc and grub conflict with each other, so the state you got (with -pc uninstalled) is not terribly unreasonable.
fwiw, The ubuntu cloud images uses 'grub-legacy-ec2' to manage /boot/grub/menu.lst. Ie, if you really think you need that file managed, that is one solution. The other solution is to use drop grub 0.97 ** Also affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132345 Title: grub 0.97 and 2.00 installed in VMs causes confusion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1132345/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
