Subject: lilo.conf bad bmp reference

Package: lilo
Version: 22.5.9-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

Related to #259982.
I just upgraded a pre-sarge box installed around july.

My /etc/lilo.conf had the following line (wrong path):
bitmap=/usr/share/lilo/contrib/debian.bmp

Which render lilo unrunable :
# lilo
Fatal: open /usr/share/lilo/contrib/debian.bmp: No such file or directory

I didn't get any information/warning during the upgrade.
It might be nice to check for the exit status of lilo -t during the
installation scripts to warn the sys. admin. that something is wrong.

I ate leaving a box with a non fonctionning bootloader.
