package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade:

[Erick Brunzell]

Binary package hint: grub2

This bug was "self-generated" during a distribution upgrade from Karmic to Lucid (two days prior to RC).

You should be aware I'm only doing this as a test because I've seen some reports on the forums of grub2 installing to all mbrs and partitions during an upgrade so I wanted to check it out myself. That was not the case for me.

I had another OS's grub2 in charge of boot and so this OS's grub2 was not installed to any mbr or partition. The upgrade kept that choice as a default and offered me the option to install wherever I wished as it should.

Since I chose not to install grub2 to any mbr or partition that may have caused this, eh?

I'd consider it very, very low priority at worst but still felt I should report it.

This resolved itself. After filing the bug I got another pop-up telling me that "dpkg --configure -a" would run. Then I got the expected terminal output for grub-mkconfig, once again reviewing my choices for grub installation and all completed successfully so I'm marking this invalid.
