[Grml] grml64-small upgrade error

[Xi Shen]

Hi,

I ran 'apt-get update' then 'apt-get upgrade', and I got the following error:

Hi Xi,

please subscribe to the mailinglist before sending mails, otherwise
it's going through list moderation and can take some time ;)

Whereas those look like errors they're actually just warnings, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620566 and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620699

We'd have to know what your 'aufs' mount looks like,
seems to be a problem with your setup/configuration.

BTW: Please note that grml2hd installations are NOT supported and
you should be able to deal with Debian/unstable.

Hi,

See
http://blog.grml.org/archives/353-Grml-kernels-cant-be-installed-with-dpkg-1.16.0.html
for the problem description.

But you seem to have two different kind of problems. One is the dpkg
warning message. You can get rid of it with installing the latest grml
kernel from the grml testing repostory.

It seems that you want to upgrade your iso image via apt-get upgrade. I
assume you have setup a persistent partition and want to update your usb
stick. This does not work with grub as it tries to load the support for
your specific fs (in your case aufs) which does not exist and exists.

I dont know a solution you just may uninstall grub and just install a
dummy package (equivs) to resolve the dependencies of the kernel image.

Yes, I am using a USB pen drive, and I have persistent setup.
So, updating grub on usb pen drive is not supposed to work? Then how
can we update it?

You can replace the squashfs file direclty with a version from a daily
image.

Please note that i am no using the persisency feature myself, maybe
other have better ideas.

ACK.

We should maybe investigate the grup-pc issue on live system
upgrades and find a way how to prevent it from erroring out.
