No. At least now you are not getting the 18 packages witheld from before
(and sorry about the 'sudo grub-update' vs 'sudo update-grub' mixup -
glad you caught that.

So perhaps it is time to try Goh's suggestion of reinstalling grub. He
suggested:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

Before you do that, can you please provide the output of:

$ grub-install -v

and

$ sudo fdisk -l

Thanks.
