Bug#767282: jessie grub stops with 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found

[BAGI Ákos]

Package: grub
Version: 2.02~beta2-15

Severity: critical

I made today (29-oct-2014) apt-get upgrade on jessie and after restart
the system goes into grub rescue mode. The system is 2 month old
and last restar was made 30 days ago.

error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found

System is i386, with software raid-1, on two SSDs.

--------------------------
ls gives:
(md/1) (md/0) (hd0) (hd0,msods2) (hd0,msods1) (hd1) (hd11,msods2) 
(hd1,msdos1)

All data seems to be OK.

Manual boot is also not possible.
