Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100720-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
During postinstall I get the question on which drives to install grub in the mbr.
I choose all three (as always in the past).
Now the postinstall fails with:
Richte grub-pc ein (1.98+20100720-1) ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.
Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly.
for every drive.
And same error some lines below:
Generating grub.cfg ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
For a new installation this would case a non functional boot.
As it seems nothing was touched, I assume my system will still boot-)
