Bug#543789: grub-pc: failed to upgrade

[Atsuhito KOHDA]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090826-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

when I upgraded my system this morning, grub-pc failed to upgrade
(from 1.96+20090808-1 to 1.96+20090826-1) in configure stage.

Downgrading to 1.96+20090808-1 fixed the problem.  So my system has
1.96+20090808-1 at present (i.e. I'm writing this email with grub-pc 
of 1.96+20090808-1), sorry if that caused any inconvenience for you.

Thanks for your maintenance.  Regards.
