Package: grub2
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After upgrading to grub 1.97+20091125 grub fails at startup with:
error: grub_gettext not found
and leaves the box on grub_rescue> prompt without help.mod not cat.mod
loaded (ls.mod is loaded).
The system is unbootable. Same problem with experimental 1.97+20091127.
Thanks.

Hi,
There's no bug here. You installed different versions of GRUB to different
drives using the same /boot/grub/. One of them stopped booting because of
ABI incompatibility.
Just tell the debconf template to install GRUB to each drive and you'll be ok.
