Description:   Opened: 2007-05-08 02:13 0000 
I discovered this after syncing portage during a brief period when
debianutils-2.18 was not masked.

The kernel's (suspend2-sources) "make install" calls arch/i386/boot/install.sh
to perform the kernel install.

The install.sh in turn calls /usr/sbin/mkboot (from debianutils).

Between 2.17.5 and 2.18 mkboot changed. It now attempts to invoke "update-grub"
to regenerate grub.conf. Unfortunately, debianutils-2.18 does not install
update-grub so this fails. 

Either update-grub needs to be added to debianutils or mkboot needs to be
patched to not attempt to use it,

confirmed on my system :
localhost linux # make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.21-ck1/arch/x86_64/boot/install.sh 2.6.21-ck1
arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
In order to use the new kernel image you have just installed, you
will need to reboot the machine.  First, however, you will need to
either make a bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB
installed.

Checking for ELILO...No
which: no update-grub in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin)

Checking for LILO...No

Checking for SILO...No

Checking for PALO...No

Should I make a bootdisk? (y/N) n

WARNING: Your system is probably unbootable now.  After correcting any
problems, rerun this script with the command `mkboot -i'.

------- Comment #7 From Nick Devito 2007-05-14 04:41:39 0000 ------- 
One idea would be to just mask 2.18, since the only change between 2.17.5 and
2.18 is the patch which causes the issue.

------- Comment #8 From Matthias Schwarzott 2007-05-14 07:48:46 0000 ------- 
Please apply this small patch,
as else "make install" is unusable.

Now package.masked as vanilla grub does not install update-grub.
I've emailed the debianutils maintainer about this.

------- Comment #10 From P. Levine 2007-05-14 23:21:33 0000 ------- 
Debian's grub and grub2 package now handle the installation of the update-grub
script, instead of debianutils. I'd suggest that the update-grub script be
added to either debianutil's or grub's files directory in the portage tree and
installed from the ebuild.

masking a package isnt a fix
