> No. Some of the scripts needs debconf. Hello, At short glance the respective changes in update-grub seem to be like this: -echo -n "Searching for splash image... " +echo -n "Searching for splash image ... " >&2 i.e. the newer update-grub is simply sending to stderr instead of stdout. This afaik could be solved be redirecting stdout to stderr in the *invocation* of update-grub in the kernel's maintainerscripts. But I am sure I am missing something important. ;-) cu andreas -- The 'Galactic Cleaning' policy undertaken by Emperor Zhark is a personal vision of the emperor's, and its inclusion in this work does not constitute tacit approval by the author or the publisher for any such projects, howsoever undertaken.
