Oh and I forgot that the Ubuntu version always Recommended os-prober (well even depended on it) And britney respects Breaks now. So if I'd add it, we'd be stuck with the current squeeze grub2 version as long as os-prober doestn't migrate, which is frozen because of the udeb. So if we fix another RC bug it'll take a while until it reaches squeeze just because of the Conflicts/Breaks. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
