[Bug 811913] Re: grub-pc replaces grub-efi and grub-efi-amd64 on upgrade

[Brian Murray]

This is fixed in oneiric as we can see by the recommends of linux:

Package: linux-image-3.0.0-6-generic  
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 147556
Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <kernel-team at lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: amd64

Version: 3.0.0-6.7

However, it is still an issue for Natty:

Title:
  grub-pc replaces grub-efi and grub-efi-amd64 on upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Natty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I just installes Ubuntu 11.04 on my new system (booting with efi) and
  when I try to upgrade the system synaptic suggests to remove grub-efi
  and grub-efi-amd64 with grub-pc.

  This type of problem was reported long ago but unfortunately never
  fixed. Since many non mac systems start to support uefi I think it
  gets important to fix this problem. For more details see also bug
  532903.
