Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090825-1
Severity: grave
grub-pc fails with the following message:
lakeview ok % sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/grub-{pc,common}_1.96+20090825-1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 321802 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-pc
Running the postinst by hand produces the following:
lakeview no % sudo env DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
+ [ ! ]
+ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
+ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY
+ [ ]
+ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure
debconf (developer): frontend started
debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is grub-pc
debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.config configure
debconf (developer): <-- SET grub-pc/cmdline_linux
debconf (developer): --> 10 grub-pc/cmdline_linux doesn't exist
Indeed, there is no cmdline_linux template. I've downgraded to
1.96+20090808-1 so that I can have a usable system; if you need me to
perform any tests or provide any more information, please let me know.
