Bug#414798: update-grub with grep --color enable fails

[sebastien COUPPEY]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-23
Severity: normal


The grep color option is enabled in my bashrc as :

export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always'


Updating the grub package I had the following error.
Removing the color option and run the script again solved the problem

Thanks
