Hi!

I got a notification about new updates today, the kernel 2.6.22-14 (and
it's headers) was installed.

During the setup I looked at the details and saw a message "the
/etc/kernel-img.conf file needs to be updated. please read news.debian[1]."

I'm unable to find that file news.debian.

What exactly should the file state?

The current content of /etc/kernel-img.conf:
do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = no
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no
postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub

I noticed the same thing last week. When you take a look at the /sbin/update-grub script you will notice two things:

The location of the news.debian file that you are looking for
That instead of /sbin/update-grub the new location is now /usr/sbin/update-grub

I believe this means that you should manually edit the kernel-img.conf file and change the location of update-grub.

I checked and found:


karl@karl-desktop:~$ locate update-grub
/sbin/update-grub
/usr/sbin/update-grub
/usr/share/man/man8/update-grub.8.gz
karl@karl-desktop:~$

So on my computer I have the same name file two places. What me
worry? :-)

This message comes up with every kernel update for months already. It is
directed to the packager of the ubuntu kernel. The ubuntu users can safely
ignore it.

Beats me:

jaska@scapa:~$ locate update-grub
/usr/sbin/update-grub
/usr/share/man/man8/update-grub.8.gz
/sbin/update-grub
jaska@scapa:~$ ll /usr/sbin/update-grub
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36340 2007-09-11 00:08 /usr/sbin/update-grub
jaska@scapa:~$ ll /sbin/update-grub
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 466 2007-09-11 00:09 /sbin/update-grub

jaska@scapa:~$ cat /sbin/update-grub
#!/bin/sh
#
# Wrapper to warn user about kernel-img.conf move
...

Why worry at all?

Ok, so even if I could ignore it I made the change to defer to
/usr/sbin/update-grub.

Got nothing to lose, right?

That's what I did and what /usr/share/doc/grub/NEWS.Debian.gz tells you to do. Haven't seen the message since I made the change.
