[Bug 1317062] Re: No way of regenerating /etc/default/grub

[Phillip Susi]

This appears to be an intentional feature of dpkg/apt; once you have
decided to remove a conf file, it assumes you wanted it gone when you
reinstall.  Completely purging grub-pc and then reinstalling will get
the file back, but it seems like there should be an easier way of doing
this.


** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

  If the user has removed /etc/default/grub or wants to revert to the default version of this file, there is no way of getting it back.
  Neither is this file provided by any package, nor is there a (documented) way of generating it.
