When I run the apt-get install...., the configuration fails with the error
about
"Could not find postinst hook script [usr/sbin/update-grub]."
However, that script DOES exist in the stated path. So what gives with
this?
Thanks any help! - John

I'm wondering if you need a / before the usr.

What is the current working directory when this script gets run. You
told it
usr/sbin/update-grub
not
/usr/sbin/update-grub
Note the difference.
I still don't know why this is necessary. During the most recent kernel
upgrade in Etch, I watched carefully for the usual warning message about
not running /sbin/update-grub and didn't see it.
Doug.

Not a solution, but I always wondered about that. Why are we being
tasked with it and not the install scripts?

DUH! How can we miss something like that once in awhile? Thanks Doung and
Mike - Adding the preceding slash fixed that problem, but brings out another
problem I have that belongs in another thread. Please see my next post
about I/O error reading swsusp image. I only get the error running
2.6.18-6-686 but not 2.6.18-4-686.

That path ("usr/sbin/update-grub") is relative to the current directory of
the process using it. You probably want "/usr/sbin/update-grub".
