[Bug 1178534] [NEW] error processing grub-efi-amd64 (2.00-13ubuntu3) in 13.04

[Leon Maurer]

Public bug reported:

After a Windows install, I ran in to boot problems and tried running
boot-repair. That's when I first encountered this error. That has been
previously reported in Bug #1175018 (and one other bug, I think).

However, after running boot-repair, I was able to boot the linux install on my hard drive. (It wasn't quite the same as before; there was no splash screen.) However, I'm stilling having the error. For example:
