Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to

This was reported against a very old release so I'm going to close it.

Title:
  Grub upgrade error on apt-get upgrade

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-pc

  After doing an apt-get upgrade straight after a fresh install of 9.10,
  it shows this problem:

  Setting up grub-pc (1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4) ...
  grub-probe: error: Cannot stat `(hd0'
  Invalid device `(hd0'.
  Try ``grub-setup --help'' for more information.
  grub-probe: error: Cannot stat `5)'
  Invalid device `5)'.
  Try ``grub-setup --help'' for more information.
  Generating grub.cfg ...
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
  Found memtest86+ image: /memtest86+.bin
  done

  Clearly, it's split the string according to the ',' that should of
  been in that string.

  On a seperate note, may I also take this opportunity to say, that I've
  never in my life had so many problems with an Ubuntu upgrade. Not only
  did I have to do a completely fresh install due to the 'video card
  flashing' problems which just would not go away, not only have I spent
  the last 3 hours trying to make Truecrypt and Grub 2 work nicely, but
  on top of that, the image which people are downloading is not even the
  most up to date one, and contains bugs, bugs which do things like
  stopping my b43 wireless card from working.

  I am absolutely disgusted with the lack of preparation and due care
  that this release has suffered, and it is quite disappointing since
  Ubuntu upgrades are usually such a seamless and care-free task. This
  release obviously has not had any adequate testing, and I'm sure I'll
  get a flaming from the developers and other users for these comments,
  but someone had to say it.
