Bug#931896: grub-efi-amd64: symbol `grub_file_filters` not found

[Diederik de Haas]

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Followup-For: Bug #931896

I don't have grub-efi-amd64 installed, but I ran into the same problem.
The only enabled lines in /etc/default/grub are these:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Which, afaik, is the default.
The versions reported are what's currently installed as with 2.04 my
system doesn't boot.

I'm not sure/don't understand what Colin meant with 'firmware'. My guess
would be my BIOS, but I haven't changed that recently.
But up until version 2.04 grub2 has worked perfectly well and I don't 
recall me having configured anything manually, so I wouldn't know why 
it would be misconfigured.
Downgrading to version 2.02+dfsg1-20 makes it work again

I can send my grub.cfg in a separate email if that would help.
(How can I do a followup with bugreport so that the full output is
reported as you'd get with an initial filing of a bug?)

I get no errors during the upgrade to 2.04:
root at host:~# aptitude unhold grub-pc

WinXP doesn't actually boot iirc (been a LONG while since I tried) and
the remaining non-upgraded packages are due to #928631.

If you want/need more info, let me know.
