or grub-mkconfig for the occurence of a part of the error message and look
whats going on there.
(FYI, update-grub just calls grub-mkconfig)
I've just looked at Debian's grub2 source and there's a Debian
grub-mkconfig patch, mkconfig_mid_upgrade.patch:
Description: Bail out if trying to run grub-mkconfig during upgrade to 2.00
Since files in /etc/grub.d/ are conffiles, they are not put in place until
grub-common is configured, meaning that they may be out of sync with the
parts of grub-mkconfig that reside in /usr/. In GRUB 1.99,
/etc/grub.d/00_header contained a reference to ${GRUB_PREFIX}/video.lst.
This and other code from 1.99 breaks with 2.00's grub-mkconfig. Deferring
this to when grub-PLATFORM.postinst eventually runs is safe and avoids this
problem.
