[Bug 1906175] [NEW] failed to update-grub

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

Observed fact:
  after running "update-grub" command, I get the following errors
  Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings
  error: out of memory.
  error: syntax error.
  error: Incorrect command.
  error: syntax error.
  Syntax error at line 309
  Syntax errors are detected in generated GRUB config file.

Analysis:
  LANG is set to "en_US.UTF-8"
  when "update-grub" calls /etc/grub.d/00_header line 
     23 grub_lang=`echo $LANG | cut -d . -f 1` ==> produces grub_lang="en_US  wihout ending quote

Proposed fix:
  not sure how to deal with that subject
  maybe it is enough to remove quotes around LANG setting
  in my setup /etc/default/locale, LANG is set to C, later it is set to "en_US.UTF-8", don't know the process
