Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090825-1
Severity: normal
I changed /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst to add a 'set -x', and here's
what 'dpkg --configure grub-pc' shows:
------------------------------------------
Setting up grub-pc (1.96+20090825-1) ...
+ case "$1" in
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' '' ']'
++ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
++ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY
++ '[' '' ']'
++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 1.96+20090808-1
dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-pc
------------------------------------------
Not really much more helpful than the other reports :-)
