Hi,
Sorry, I don't think this email's going to help very much.

Notice the long delay there. I suspect the installer paused at `db_get
grub-installer/bootdev`, which according to grub-installer.templates for
v1.70 was of 'string' type:
Template: grub-installer/bootdev
Type: string
The device should be specified as a device in /dev. Below are some
examples:
So I imagined typing that 'nonsense' string on a keyboard:
w33... sxs... 34rfvbg... 789iokm...
and a middot which I'm not sure how you would type, and finally
... ']... enter key?
On a QWERTY keyboard these sequences of keys are all adjacent!
To the original submitter of the bug report: do you have a cat?
No. The machine is my work desktop. I do have a QWERTY keyboard
(Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000). I don't know how one might
have gotten a middot out of it! That said, I cannot eliminate the
possibility that a cleaner was overzealous or similar, but it seems
unlikely...?
Regards,
Matthew
