Description: Updating from grub2-1.98-5 to grub2-1:1.99-5

Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: See the wiki if you don't know how to use the software, or the manual. We also don't tell people to run it on first install so I don't see why we should tell them on update.

@skod -thanks for that but I feel the PKG should tell the user in

well precedented among other packages.
