[Bug 451581] Re: update-grub/grub-install strike

[Steve Langasek]

This shows that you had both grub-pc and grub installed, then when grub-
pc was fixed to Conflict with grub, grub-pc was removed - taking its
files with it.  To restore the missing files, you should run:

  sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub

from the commandline.

Alternatively, *IFF* this system was a new karmic install, which means
you have grub2 as your bootloader, you should run this instead:

  sudo apt-get install grub-pc

This bug was fixed in grub2 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu8, so I'm marking this
report as resolved.  Here is the changelog for the fixing package
version:

grub2 (1.97~beta3-1ubuntu8) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * debian/control: Conflict with grub (<< 0.97-54) as well as grub-legacy
    (see LP #410886).
  * debian/grub-common.init: Create /boot/grub if it doesn't exist, to avoid
    noise on fresh installations.

  [ Tormod Volden ]
  * debian/grub-common.init: do not call log_end_msg if not VERBOSE
    (LP: #440879)
