Bug#589737: Unknown symbol error in grub2 : 'grub_xputs'

[Simon Vallet]

Package: grub2
Version: 1.98+20100710-1
Severity: important

Hi,

after an upgrade of a mixed squeeze/sid system, grub2 doesn't seem to
load anymore -- I get the following message instead :

"The symbol 'grub_xputs' not found'"
Entering rescue mode

and get dropped to a rescue mode.
