Bug#669946: grub2/grub-pc upgrade fails with grub-probe complaining /dev not mounted (even if it is)

Package: grub2
Version: 1.99-21
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

During upgrade (in SID), grub-pc, grub2 and any new kernel just won't be properly installed because of grub-probe complaining of /dev not being mounted.
This bug already occurred in previous versions of grub2, from what I've read, but as the fix was to upgrade grub2, I cannot use it by now, being at the latest one!

Please note this dist-upgrade was quite big, because of several times spent everywhere but on this machine, and I might have done a versions jump.


Thanks a lot.
Aurélien
