Bug#871229: Acknowledgement (/usr/sbin/update-grub: running update-grub segment faults)

[Thing]

What led up to the situation?

Attempting to convert machine from 32bit to 64bit
(https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading).
I found that attempting to make the amd64 kernel the default boot
kernel failed.


 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Goolged the segfault message, no joy.

 * What was the outcome of this action?

The boot order in grub does not get updated.

 * What outcome did you expect instead?

That the boot order gets updated.
