Grub uefi and refractainstaller installation

Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:14 pm

I have installed grub-efi-amd64 and successfully used refractasnapshot to build an ISO using the latest code released (9.1.5 Beta2)

On boot I realized I had not installed the installer so I headed back to correct it...

Now trying to install the latest version ... (9.1.4) and also on the previous 9.1.3, I get the message that:

refractainstaller-base depends on grub-pc or grub-legacy however neither are installed...

Is this simply an issue that the installer must be setup and installed before installing grub-efi-amd64?

The installer does not yet support uefi. I can't give you a timeline on when it will be ready. Well, maybe weeks, not years. When that happens, grub-efi-amd64 will satisfy the dependency. If you try to install it after refractainstaller is installed, apt will remove refractainstaller. (I think aptitude will remove it, and apt-get will set it for autoremoval.)

Thanks for the heads up...

Should you need any testing, I am always available and always on sid with access to experimental
