Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-8 Severity: grave Hi,
Happy grub-pc user. But today's upgrade is not going so well: 1. I get a debconf dialog saying GRUB failed to install to the following devices: /dev/sda Do you want to continue anyway? If you do, your computer may not start up properly. The answer is no, obviously. Why would I want my computer not to start up properly? 2. I get a peek at the console. Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100804-8) ... sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `� sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `� sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `' sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `� sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `� sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `' sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `� sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `� sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `' /usr/sbin/: Not found. 3. Another debconf dialog. The grub-pc package is being upgraded. This menu allows you to select which devices you'd like grub-install to be automatically run for, if any. My choices are /dev/sda and /dev/dm-0. I choose /dev/sda, of course. 4. Go back to step 1. Downgrading to 1.98+20100804-7 does not help, even though 1.98+20100804-7 was working fine before. Ideas?
