Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-79
Severity: Normal

 After upgrade grub-legacy from 0.97-78 to 0.97-79 installation fails
 with message "Error 134633601: Error while parsing number":

 Observed on all updated hosts (about ten in my own). Rollback to 0.97-78
 resolves the problem (with the same config files).
