Package: grubconf
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: normal

When grubconf is started and reads the grub configuration file, root=/dev/hda1x in the 
options of the kernel becomes root=/dev/hda1 - it drops the latter numeral. For example in 
my menu.lst (which was originally generated by grubconf)

title Debian GNU/Linux
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
        root (hd0,7)
        kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda10 (null)

becomes

title Debian GNU/Linux
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
        root (hd0,7)
        kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda1 (null)

The same happens to another entry where root=/dev/hda12 - it also becomes
/dev/hda1.

The change appears in the grubconf GUI immediately following grubconf startup and sticks 
in the configuration file if grubconf rewrites it, i.e. if something is modified with 
grubconf.

Description: 
 grubconf   - a Gnome2 based GNU GRUB configuration editor
Closes: 260276 263648
Changes: 
 grubconf (0.5.1-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: get rid of gcrypt7 and gnutls10 dependency. Patch
   submitted by Matthias Urlichs <smurf@debian.org>
   (closes: #263648)
   * fix get_index_dev() on grubconf_dev.c to check for root dev names
   which can be larger than 4 chars, ie hda10. The fix is to check
   the last char (which is '\0' on smaller dev node names, thus a valid
   check).
