Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
maverick updated
i'm installing this update (1.98+20100614-2ubuntu4) now and see that the
debconf dialog box is still so confusing:
the text is : Continue without installing GRUB ? (with the non selected
checkbox)
how people can understand that ?
- most users will understand: if i check (= i answer 'yes') that mean "
continue without installing grub"
but anyway this is not a question as users have only the choice to check
it to be able to continue and finally install the package: so checking
this single choice (LOL) is doing exactly the opposite of its supposed
to do.
Looking at "help" even dont answer this question: may i check or not to install.
Instead of this meaningless question, why not giving a clear choice:
- install grub-pc: check this box
note: the "help" text dont tell if the already installed grub-pc (before
update) is removed or not
finally as the only choice is to check the box "Continue WITHOUT
installing GRUB" , the result is:
o...@dub:~$ grub-install -v
grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100614-2ubuntu4
so this debconf question is not really a question and devs might take
care of the international understanding
