The latest grub package update needs some manual intervention

Since the question has come up several times in various topics, I wanted to point out the grub version 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-3 has recently been released.

This package is identical to the prior revision, 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-1, with the exception of a message added post install warning you to run grub-install and grub-mkconfig.

What this means for you is that if you already updated to 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-1 and subsequently ran grub-install, there shouldn’t be any problem with updating again.

However, if you were one of the people who decided to downgrade grub, this package does nothing further to change the situation. Updating to this package will have the same issues as the prior release.
