Ah. You're using grub-efi. Your boot variable space is most likely
full. Do you any files matching /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/dump-* ?

I've just checked that mirror and the latest grub packages are indeed
there.

However, you should *really* change the "stable" there to say
"buster". That will stop you getting an unexpected upgrade to bullseye

buster-updates and buster-proposed-updates won't matter now. The grub
packages are directly in the main buster repo.
