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

[cogset]

That's not the way to do it: it may work, but this is an Ubuntu (major)
bug and should be solved without adding packages from the Debian package
repositories.

Also, it is worth reiterating that an LTS release such as Ubuntu 14.04
has to be fixed, period.

Title:
  [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
