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

So it seems all this requires is a SRU of the changes in grub2
2.02~beta2-21 to 14.04. I'm starting this now.

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

Status in grub:
  Unknown
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in grub2 source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

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
