Description poletti.marco 2012-10-31 10:58:48 UTC

Disclaimer: this bug has been filed in a semi-automated manner.

When emerging the package sys-boot/grub-0.97-r12, the following elog messages are displayed:

 * 
 * To avoid automounting and auto(un)installing with /boot,
 * just export the DONT_MOUNT_BOOT variable.
 * 

Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install.
These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows:

if ! has_version 'sys-boot/grub'; then

See the tracker bug 440214 for more details.
