Yeah it does...

It seems you can close this bug.

My system is about the following:

I have a /boot on my harddisk,... (with grub, kernel, etc). but I do not
really use this for booting, nor have I installed grub in the MBA of
that harddisk.

I rather boot from a USB stick, where grub is installed (as well
as /boot).... because the system is completely encrypted with dm-crypt.

When mounting that usb-stick on /boot/,.. and upgrading the package....
everything works fine.


However, until now this never caused troubles when upgrading the
package,...

So perhaps we should investigate in that direction?


Cheers,
Chris.
