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

[Forest]

This is still a problem in Trusty. Can someone tell us whether it's
fixed in Utopic?

The savannah bug report says fixed. What version of grub fixes it? Will
upgrading grub fix the problem in an existing installation, or is
further action required?

(Note: I'm interested in the official fix,  in order to keep in line
with a stock installation, not workarounds that might have to be
manually removed later.)

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
