Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-13 Severity: important I just upgraded grub2 from 1.98+20100804-11 to 1.98+20100804-13. I now see lots of *error* messages (hence the important severity). I think this is due to the fact that I have a spare device in one of my RAID arrays. Here is my RAID arrays (see the last one with a spare device) and after the result of a "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". I think that my config is normal and that grub should not display these alarming messages.
