On an FC16 box i just ran preupgrade-cli.

It ends on a down note:

  Spawning worker 0 with 1682 pkgs

sh: /sbin/grub: No such file or directory
/bin/echo: write error: Broken pipe
All finished. The upgrade will begin when you reboot.

Why's it looking for /sbin/grub? Should it have found it? And the write 
error??

Doesn't give me a good feeling about starting the upgrade!
