Pascal, please read my comments again. The status before I made the change *was* confirmed (it was marked this way by someone else who had been able to confirm this). I marked it as "needs info" because there is no good status to reflect the status of this bug: The upstream version is marked as "fix released" and the fix fixes nothing. With status "grub (ubuntu) Confirmed" and "grub (Debian) Fix released", how likely is it that it will receive any more attention? If one reads the upstream bug report and the GNU manual, one gets conflicting ideas as to the correct course of action. We need to determine the correct course of action to determine how to fix the bug (and perhaps the bug fix is to eliminate grub-reboot from Ubuntu - that's legitimate). As for asking questions of the developers, well, isn't asking questions a legitimate conversational tool (refer to "helping with bugs" re reports being a conversation with the developers), a legitimate form of discourse and inquiry? The released fix doesn't work. There is no good status for this. What should we do? There is apparent disagreement over the correct course of action. Is the bug report not an appropriate forum for that discussion? -- Latest grub package (0.97-1ubuntu4) breaks /sbin/grub-reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/31915 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
