Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-27+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When installed normally, running "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" will ask 3 questions:
- Linux command line
- Linux default command line
- Which drive to install to
When grub is installed with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, running "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" will ask the first 2 questions.
The only way to fix the issue is to purge and reinstall:
dpkg --purge grub-pc grub2
apt-get install grub2
