Thanks for the update, seems like the issues are continuing . . . my basic
appraoch for the last few mnths is to use synaptic for upgrades in ubuntu
flavors and NOT upgrade grub2 packages, whereas over in OpenSUSE and
Manjaro grub2 upgrades are fine and that keeps my grub working and visible
to boot other systems . . . .
