[Bug 1269992] Re: 2.02~beta2 requires manual testing

[John Cottier]

It would not install boot-repair as its not available for 14.04 64 bit yet.
Tried sudo debconf-show grub-pc but did not seem to show any path.
Tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and it just gave a blank command line.
Booted the live CD to re-install and it offered an upgrade from 14.04 to 14.04 ?!? I let it run that but it had a lot of errors with bad packages. I had a suspicion that the original install had not in fact formatted the partition to wipe 13.10 off (even though it was selected to do that). So I used gparted from the live CD to delete the partition and start install again. This worked flawlessly. I seem to remember that happening in the past too. So I am guessing that on the original 14.04 install, it actually installed over the top of 13.10 and got confused over the files left over.

Title:
  2.02~beta2 requires manual testing

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm syncing GRUB 2.02~beta2 from Debian experimental into trusty-
  proposed.  This requires some manual testing before we let it loose on
  trusty users in general, so this bug exists to ensure that it doesn't
  reach trusty before we're sure it's ready.
