[Bug 667578] Re: Kernel Upgrade on 10.10 Live USB runs update-grub

Same problem here: installed Ubuntu 10.10 on USB with startup creator,
got this message almost immediately!

Tried the workaround, so was able to do a clean apt-get upgrade, but still have:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  cups linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

Are there any solutions to this? Had to install 10.10 instead of 11.4
due to bugs in casper and 11.4...

thanks
