IndexError: list index out of range
This was working fine a couple of days ago. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the package by add/remove and when doing a search for startup-manager found that there is a duplicate entry for startup-manager.

Thank you for your bug report.
By default, apport reports bug setting it private because the traceback can contain sensible data. I didn't found any sensible data in this report, so please to avoid duplicates can I set this bug public?

About the bug itself: can you attach your /etc/grub/menu.lst file, please?

[Karl.Mo (partyboi2)]

Here is my /boot/grub/menu.list. Yes you can set this bug as "public"

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

Thank you for the information.
I can confirm that with your menu.lst file startupmanager crashes with this error.

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

Here's a patch which should fix the bug.

[Karl.Mo (partyboi2)]

I have tried to apply the patch but am getting
File to patch: bootconfig/grub_legacy.py
patching file bootconfig/grub_legacy.py
patch: **** malformed patch at line 15:
I have check to make sure that there are no spaces before the +/- on my end.
Could you please have another look at the patch.
thanks

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

The patch works, but you didn't applied it correctly.
You should wait for the deb package or, if you don't know how to work around this problem, ask me to explain you how to apply the patch and I'd happy to answer you.

[Andrea Colangelo (warp10)]

Debdiff based on Andrea (Corbellini)'s patch. Built, installed and tested.
I'll take care to submit a bug report and the patch to Debian.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

It will be released in Debian with that patch. It can be synced after that.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

Concurred. Let's pull the sync for this. I've unsubscribed ubuntu universe sponsors from this bug: please close it when the sync is complete.

[Jimmy Rönnholm (jronnholm)]

Fixed in version 1.9.10

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

Can I ask for a sync for this one ? It's been released on Debian...

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Synced, thanks!
