Testcase 3: Lucid 10.04.2 on E: drive (ntfs partition /dev/sda3)
=============================================
Grub version in wubildr at install 1.98-1ubuntu5
Grub version in Ubuntu at install 1.98-1ubuntu10
debconf-show grub-pc ---> install-devices: <blank>
Test method:
Add Proposed to sources, and update grub-pc through synaptic (not running
other updates)
Expected result:
===========
1. wubildr on /dev/sda2 will be updated (that's C:)
2. grub modules added to /boot/grub
3. /boot/grub/grub.cfg changes as expected with new modules present.
4. No prompt to install grub to /dev/sda
Results:
=====
1. wubildr on /dev/sda2 not updated
2. grub modules not added to /boot/grub
3. /boot/grub/grub.cfg not changed
4. There was no prompt to install grub to /dev/sda
(grub is now version 1.98-1ubuntu12)
Conclusion:
========
This will stop this bug (installing grub to drive MBR). But I expected
wubildr to be updated. Maybe my expectation is incorrect, but there is still
a distinct difference between wubi installed to the same partition as
windows (/host/wubildr exists), and when it doesn't.
