Description Stefan de Konink 2007-05-13 17:32:06 UTC 
When I do a make install I get:

which: no update-grub in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin)


I reinstalled grub-0.97-r3 but it doesn't provide that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Does this work in previous versions? I can't see where (or why) it's calling update-grub. update-grub is a debian utility for updating menu.lst after a kernel upgrade.

I didn't see this on my primary system. But today I am upgrading my server ending up in that error.

make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.21-gentoo/arch/x86_64/boot/install.sh 2.6.21-gentoo 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) make[1]: *** [install] Interrupt
make: *** [install] Interrupt



(And yes I installed my linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r3 in the same way.)

What version of debianutils are you using?

> What version of debianutils are you using?

sys-apps/debianutils-2.18
Comment 5 Nick Devito 2007-05-13 18:17:46 UTC 
Ahha, I think I might have found the issue. Try downgrading to 2.17.5.

debianutils (2.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * mkboot: check for update-grub instead of grub, thereby
    handling both grub and grub2 packages.  closes: #414495.
    Thanks to Yves Lavoie ing. for suggested course of action.

That does the trick.
Comment 7 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-13 18:46:31 UTC 
this bug is not fixed in debianutils yet
Comment 8 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-13 18:47:08 UTC 
base-system: Please patch debianutils to not look for update-grub but instead grub/grub2, thanks!
Comment 9 Nick Devito 2007-05-13 19:01:53 UTC 
Or just revert back to 2.17.5 and mask 2.18. The *only* change between 2.17.5 and 2.18 is this patch which breaks installkernel by looking for update-grub instead of grub (and the version number, of course).
