Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I installed grub2, necessarily removing grub, however, I did not yet
purge grub, so its config files remain. One of those files is called in
the prerm script of kernel image packages, but it fails when grub is not
actually installed, causing the removal of kernel images to fail:
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/prerm.d/last-good-boot
/etc/kernel/prerm.d/last-good-boot: 3: /usr/sbin/kernel-helper: not found
run-parts: /etc/kernel/prerm.d/last-good-boot exited with return code 127
Failed to process /etc/kernel/prerm.d at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.28-3-generic.prerm line 267.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.28-3-generic (--purge):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
Packages must gracefully handle the situation of them being removed but
their config files remaining.
