Bug#421321: You shouldn't call /sbin/update-grub

[Andrew Hately]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-27

I installed this machine today from empty using an official etch CD
set and local etch mirror. All OK. Then I built a new kernel and
installed it, receiving the following output


# dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.18audiolan_2.6.18audiolan-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

You shouldn't call /sbin/update-grub. Please call /usr/sbin/update-grub
instead!

As I see it, etch is broken as delivered.
/etc/kernel-img.conf does not specify the path of update-grub.
/sbin/update-grub only exists to print the warning given above, and
then call the real update-grub in /usr/sbin
This could be fixed by removing /sbin/update-grub
