Good question.
Grub 0.97 is installable and working perfect on some other PC's.
So i would say this bug should be better applied to package grub2

When it does not exist - why the installation is working?
After the installation of grub2 failed i reinstalled grub with aptitude.
You can see the output in my first eMail.

It says that package grub-pc is broken and must be removed.
After that the old grub was installed and can be called.
You can see it:

r...@pc10:/boot> which grub
/usr/sbin/grub
r...@pc10:/boot> grub

Yes - this works without errors but i could not call grub on the shell!
Whatever i tried, the binary of grub2 was not installed.

The configuration-file is generated.
But not more.

Up to now i didn't try a reboot.
I will check this now.
My hope is that grub2 is still booted from the other partition.
