[Bug 1311247] Re: error: malformed file, press any key to continue

[Luigi R.]

After update one of the following files a pop-up window showed up
suggesting a reboot then I got the error at startup:

Title:
  error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04

  Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
  grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying

  "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"

  Pressing a key allows booting to continue.

  Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
  after having re-installed grub.  I tried this but this did not resolve
  the problem for me.

  synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
