[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

[Pawel Stolowski]

Looking at the upstream bug report,  this issue was fixed on 2014-06-21.
The fix is relatively small - see
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=1f6af2a9f8b02a71f213b4717d8e62c8a6b14fc5
- could a distro-patch be considered for it?

Title:
  [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04

  Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
  grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying

  "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"

  Pressing a key allows booting to continue.

  Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
  after having re-installed grub.  I tried this but this did not resolve
  the problem for me.

  synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
