Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-8 Severity: important Update-grub uses grub-probe to get more information on "/usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2". This fails and as a result /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not created.
Workaround: add in /etc/default/grub GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/unicode.pf2 # update-grub /usr/sbin/grub-probe: warn: Discarding improperly nested partition (hd3,msdos3,msdos1). /usr/sbin/grub-probe: warn: Discarding improperly nested partition (hd3,msdos3,msdos1). /usr/sbin/grub-probe: warn: Discarding improperly nested partition (hd3,msdos3,msdos1). /usr/sbin/grub-probe: warn: Discarding improperly nested partition (hd3,msdos3,msdos1).
