yum / grub[2] problem ?

[Dave Jones]

With todays f16 yum update, first I saw this..

ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
grub2 conflicts with (installed) grub-1:0.97-80.fc16.x86_64

Which I got around by doing --exclude=grub2
When everything else had updated, I did another yum update.
This is what it did..

$ sudo yum -y update --skip-broken

Complete!


So now I have grub, and grub2 installed. I guess this isn't intended ?
Should I rpm -e grub ?

Additionally, I have a 0 byte /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, so grub2-mkconfig
isn't getting run during an update. Should it be ?

Or is the plan for yum update'd systems to continue using grub1 ?
