Package: memtest86+ Version: 7.20-1 Severity: wishlistDear maintainers,memtest86+ currently `Depends: grub-common`, which could/should not be necessary for Debian systems not using grub. All invocations of grub commands in the postinst/postrm scripts are conditional on -e /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Additionally, the invoked update-grub binary is actually part of the grub2-common package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/grub2-common/filelist I only had a superficial glance at the package, so I may have missed sth. essential.Would be a nice-to-have for systemd-boot users to obviate the dependency. Thanks and best regards, Carsten
Was added to decrease at least part of big amount of reports of memtest86+ install/upgrade fails, not related to memtest86+ itself but update grub configuration that fail.
In many cases fails for grub configuration customizations by the user or by tools, but there was a case that could happen if grub-common was not updated before and it was solved with that dependency.
I don't know of another way, it would be great if a method was created to update the grub configuration outside of the packages so it would be done only once (unlike multiple times as can happen now) and at the end of the installation, but it's not something I can create.
