Bruce,
Does the current script expect RHEL or something?
I do not see 'new-kernel-pkg' on my Ubuntu machine.

I test on Fedora. Looks like on recent Fedora that's only provided by
an rpm "grubby-deprecated", which is an inauspicious name....

I think maybe you're supposed to use "grubby" itself now. Do you have
that?

It would still work with 'new-kernel-pkg: command not found'
warning.

We could bypass it if we like.

command -v new-kernel-pkg && new-kernel-pkg --remove $f

Looks like it's what updates the grub configuration, which is probably a
nice thing to do if you can.

--b.

Bruce,

Two things,

If the system doesn't run grub , how the fallback policy???

This binary "new-kernel-pkg" also missing in other systems too...I can
confirm that... i.e gentoo,slackware,

So , you are only targeting the rpm based system????
