Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091124-1
Severity: grave
After updating to the latest version of grub-pc, I couldn't boot my system at
all. It kept complaining that it didn't understand "if" or "fi" and never got
to any sort of prompt. I had to use a rescue DVD and edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
to comment out the if...fi blocks. Even then, it didn't understand "menuentry"
and dumped me into a "rescue>" prompt, where I had to enter boot parameters by
hand.
I tried executing a grub-install '(hd0)' after I got the system to boot, but
that didn't improve anything.

How did you install 1.97+20091124-1 ? We uploaded -2 before -1 migrated
