Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed the 2023-04-24 weekly build, downloaded the 2023-06-05 build and used that as the jigdo base to download bookworm 12.0.0
Then I added the 21 DVD images and synaptic suggested adding the online main repository. After apt-get update --allow-insecure-repositories, I rebooted.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
The computer booted into bookworm. However, the existing option to boot Windows is no longer available. Looking in the Advanced options finds the prior Linux entry.
Compare Bugs #1033985, #1008294 and #250626
* What was the outcome of this action?
Without a Windows option, there is a suggestion in bug #1033985 that os-prober will help set me reset the grub list. Otherwise, the Windows DVD will contrarily erase grub. I only added a Linux partition to this laptop to investigate a HDMI bug, as this one has HDMI, VGA and DisplayPort connectors.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Just because the Linux kernel has been updated, any existing entries should not be erased - except for the one being replaced.
An update should not erase the settings the user or administrator has added to customize the system. This looks like a bug.
