Comment 7 for bug 410886

Colin, people who upgraded from jaunty to karmic and did the test out grub2 will probably have both grub and grub2 installed (that is at least the situation with one of my hosts). Unfortunately, update-manager andapt-getdist-upgrade is resolving the added conflict in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/1.97~beta3-1ubuntu8 such that it's uninstalling grub-pc and not grub, leaving a probable unlikely surprise for those of us in this situation:

  $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  Calculating upgrade... Done
  The following packages will be REMOVED:
    eclipse-source grub-pc grub2 libuniconf4.4
  [SNIP]

Also, is the intended conflicting version really meant to be << 0.97-54, when the latest versions of grub (v1) that we ship is 0.97-29ubuntu58? Is it possible you meant <<0.97-29ubuntu54 ? Otherwise, why was 0.97-54 chosen?
