I have a new precise install on which I have the exact same problem. The install works, as soon as I try to do an upgrade on a server that requires a kernel upgrade I see the above problem. GRUB_PREFIX is not set wherever it's expected to be and this causes /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to fail when apt runs update-grub -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078653 Title: upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 - 12.10 has several problems: grub-pc, apport, older linux versions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1078653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Found the offending part: /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme which exited with status
1 as it failed on
test -d ${GRUB_PREFIX}; cd ${GRUB_PREFIX}
and GRUB_PREFIX was not set.
As a band aid I cd'd to /boot/grub literally.
The distribution upgrade must have removed the definition of
GRUB_PREFIX, whereever it may have been before.

For me, this bug report is settled.

I can't reinstall grub-pc as the removal of the old linux versions (29,30,31) cannot be unselected in synaptic.
