Description of problem: As per bug 1497444 comment 7 and bug 1497444 comment 17, it appears the grub2-pc package can be removed as nothing depends on it (e.g. with "dnf autoremove"). This appears to prevent menu entries for subsequent kernel installs being added to /etc/grub2/grub.cfg (on installation of kernel-core). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Not sure which packages are relevant, but here's a few... grub2-common-2.02-19.fc27.noarch grub2-pc-2.02-19.fc27.x86_64 grub2-pc-modules-2.02-19.fc27.noarch grub2-tools-2.02-19.fc27.x86_64 grub2-tools-extra-2.02-19.fc27.x86_64 grub2-tools-minimal-2.02-19.fc27.x86_64 kernel-core-4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 kernel-core-4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64 kernel-core-4.14.3-300.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Haven't attempted to reproduce. 2 reports (including mine) in bug 1497444 though. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove grub2-pc 2. Install a new kernel Actual results: /etc/grub2/grub.cfg is not updated Expected results: /etc/grub2/grub.cfg should be updated with menu entry for new kernel Additional info: Presumably grub2-pc (or grub2-pc-modules or grub2-tools-extra, which were also put back when I installed grub2-pc) should be made a dependency of kernel-core packages.
I think this needs to be handled by grub, not the kernel
I would prefer that anaconda would mark all installed packages user-installed, thus immune to autoremove. grub2-pc is not the only one in danger to be autoremoved.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
