Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

Maybe is same to #481689.

Sorry all, I must say that It is strictly necessary view the own bug description before choose the right way.

Well, I'll merge manually the backup of menu.lst, but I just don't know witch grub version will work, and now I hope to make the right thing.

This points to debconf not handling the frontend disappearing. I suppose you tried to close a window prompting you about what to do with menu.lst on upgrade. I think the debconf frontend should be more resistant to being closed abnormally.

affects: grub (Ubuntu) → debconf (Ubuntu)
