Bug#586677: grub-common: fails to update menu.lst with grub-legacy; new version in unstable fixes it

[Pedro R]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100617-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

Hi,

the current version of grub-common in testing (1.98-1) breaks update-grub when
using grub-legacy.
It does nothing, all it says is:

/boot/grub# update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
/boot/grub#


Updating to the version in unstable (1.98-20100617-1) solves this problem.

Regards,
Pedro
