Fwd: [Bug 1289977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

[Phil Diacono]

Hi Ubuntu Technical Board,

There is a lot of dissatisfaction about a problem that causes updates to
Ubuntu 14.04 to fail to boot.  Phillip Susi of Ubuntu feels this is not
a bug whereas everyone who runs into feels that it is.  We suspect it
may affect many more users and be very detrimental to Ubuntu's reputation.

Can we escalate this to you for your review? If you could publish your
findings on the launchpad bug thread, it would inform the affected
community and be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Phil Diacono

The bug is in your configuration.  As a developer, I have said there is
nothing we can do on our end to mitigate this.  As a user you need to
avoid using grub-repair to get into an unsupported configuration.  At
this point your recourse is to take it up with the technical board.
