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

[Phillip Susi]

There isn't NO chance... non security bugs will be fixed when they are
deemed critical enough.  This particular bug isn't a big deal, which is
why nobody has bothered to backport it yet.  If a developer decides it
bothers them enough though, they may go ahead and do the work to
backport it, but since this is only a cosmetic issue, I wouldn't hold my
breath.

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
