Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

Hi,

the grub packages for the legacy (1) and the grub 2 version are configured to be conflicting and thus cannot be installed at the same time.

That's a problem because you sometimes need them both, e.g. grub2 for your ubuntu system and grub1 for peparing usb sticks and things like that.

Why don't you just use grub2 for your usb sticks?

I tried that. But my netbook didn't want to accept the USB stick as a bootable device, that's why I wanted to check whether this happens with grub1 as well...
