Bug#863801: grub-coreboot: fails to upgrade from jessie to stretch if init-select was installed

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: grub-coreboot
Version: 2.02~beta3-5
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + init-select

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', then the upgrade to 'stretch' fails.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up grub-coreboot (2.02~beta3-5) ...
  Installing new version of config file /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub ...
  Installing new version of config file /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-coreboot.config: 1: /etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg: /usr/lib/init-select/get-init: not found
  dpkg: error processing package grub-coreboot (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127


This is most likely a bug in init-select, but since that package
does not exist in stretch any more (and it will be removed during the
upgrade from jessie to stretch due to dependencies/conflicts),
grub-coreboot will have to work around the bug.


cheers,

Andreas
