Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH kernel-helper v3 2/2] proxmox-boot-tool: check if correct grub metapackage is installed
Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:23:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231011132342.55518-3-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231011132342.55518-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com>
this part of the hook applies only to systems not using pbt for
bootmangement.
Currently our ISO installs grub-pc unconditionally - and never the
conflicting grub-efi-amd64. Both packages are responsible for
running grub-install (for the appropriate disks) upon an upgrade of
grub.
This results in grub currently not getting updated on uefi-booted
systems (which do not use proxmox-boot-tool).
The patch causes a warning to be printed to notify the user.
Also considered putting the check+warning in d/postinst - but this way
it will get triggered more often (upon every
kernel-upgrade/update-initramfs, instead of only on
proxmox-kernel-helper updates, which are less often), increasing the
chances of being noticed.
checking for the changelog-presence was chosen, over `dpkg-query` for
the status, for consistency with the similar patch for pve7to8 (and
potentially a small speed-gain).
