   Bug#1113715: upgrade-reports: grub menu    
   01 Sep 25 15:10:01   
   
   XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist   
   From: claude@mathr.co.uk   
      
   Package: upgrade-reports   
   Severity: normal   
   X-Debbugs-Cc: claude@mathr.co.uk   
      
   My previous release is: bookworm   
   I am upgrading to: trixie   
   Archive date: 2025-09-01   
   Upgrade date: 2025-09-01   
   uname -a before upgrade: (sorry I did not keep a copy)   
   uname -a after upgrade: Linux eiskaffee 6.12.41+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP   
   PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.41-1 (2025-08-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux   
   Method: apt full-upgrade   
      
   - Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade?  If   
     so, what were they?   
      
   wine from winehq, maybe virtualbox from oracle   
      
   - Was the system pre-update a 'pure' system only containing packages   
     from the previous release? If not, which packages were not from that   
     release?   
      
   kernel and probably some other things from bookworm backports   
      
   - Did any packages fail to upgrade?   
      
   python3 failed to upgrade initially because apt-listbugs somehow   
   pinned some python things to -30000 priority, removing the file   
   allowed upgrade to continue without issues.   
      
   kernel required manual reinstallation due to apt removing the   
   currently running version or something.   
      
   - Were there any problems with the system after upgrading?   
      
   Yes, quite severe:   
      
   On first reboot, grub menu failed to load and my motherboard's   
   bios configuration screen was displayed.   
      
   I needed to reboot to a bookworm live usb I had handy, chroot   
   into the installed system, and reinstall grub with apt.   
   This pulled in a package, grub-efi-amd64, which had not been   
   installed previously.   
      
   After reinstalling grub, the next reboot worked fine.
