If grub is installed in a container (as happens, for instance, with the ubuntu-cloud template) then an update of grub or linux-image will cause update-grub to be run. It tries, finds it can't access the root device, fails, and causes the update to fail.
It would be better for update-grub to detect that it is in a container and simply exit 0, so that the apt-get can succeed. I'm attaching a debdiff which does that. |
==============================
SRU justification for lxc part:
1. Impact: update-grub fails, causing apt-get updates to fail if there is a new kernel.
2. Development fix: modify ubuntu templates to mount devtmpfs before starting container
3. Stable fix: same as development fix.
4. Test case:
sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n q1
sudo lxc-start q1
# inside the container, run sudo update-grub
5. Regression potential: This adds one more mount per container (by default, removable), taking up more memory.

[XXX edit - removed the SRU justification for lxc part. The proposed solution
was not safe, and was undone in a later commit. devtmpfs cannot be mounted
in a container, because changes under the container's /dev are then
reflected in the host's /dev.

[Impact] GRUB upgrades fail in containers.
[Test Case] Upgrade the grub-pc package in a container.
[Regression Potential] In itself, this postinst fix should be quite safe. It's possible it won't solve the whole problem - e.g. linux-image-* upgrades calling update-grub - but I wanted to backport just what was in quantal/raring rather than getting creative in an SRU.
