I now tried tested different version:

./grub2-common_2.02+dfsg1-6kali1_armhf.deb
./grub-efi-arm_2.02+dfsg1-6kali1_armhf.deb
./grub-common_2.02+dfsg1-6kali1_armhf.deb
./grub-efi-arm-bin_2.02+dfsg1-6kali1_armhf.deb

work fine.

./grub-common_2.02+dfsg1-8kali1_armhf.deb
./grub-efi-arm-bin_2.02+dfsg1-8kali1_armhf.deb
./grub2-common_2.02+dfsg1-8kali1_armhf.deb
./grub-efi-arm_2.02+dfsg1-8kali1_armhf.deb

work fine.

grub2-common_2.02+dfsg1-9_armhf.deb
grub-common_2.02+dfsg1-9_armhf.deb
grub-efi-arm_2.02+dfsg1-9_armhf.deb
grub-efi-arm-bin_2.02+dfsg1-9_armhf.deb

break it:

I have seen repository https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub.git but I
cannot find instructions to build intermediate packages between 8 and 9
to narrow in on the patch causing the problem.

Best regards

Heinrich
