Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
One of my systems has a problem with uspash hanging shutdown so I
modified menu.lst's #defoptions =spash quiet and removed the "splash
quiet" from all the installed kernels as well. Booting up I noticed
that 2.6.28-15 was now available and installed it. Having faith, I also
cleaned out -12 to -14 kernels in synaptic as it installed -15. Every
time It tried to install (the -15) or remove a kernel it asked about a
modified menu.lst and I selected the default "to keep the installed
version" and it never updated menu.lst so even though -15 was installed
and -12 -13 -14 were removed, on reboot only -12 to -14 were on the
menu. A simple sudo update-grub fixed it. This seemed to only be a
problem when modifying menu.lst.
So, a non-stock menu.lst on kernel install will not run update-grub and
on reboot the old menu.lst will be shown.
What I suspect is if a modified config file (menu.lst) is kept, update-
grub isn't run, although it should be (On kernel install AND remove)
