Bug#799840: libpam-smbpass: installed libpam-smbpass break all local login
It happens here too! It was very difficult to find why I can't login in a big upgrade. There is no log anywhere related to smb. Removing libpam-smbpass solved the problem.
Bug#735932: [grub2-common] Computer does not boot
I had the same problem upgrading from 2.00-22 to 2.02~beta2-5. I am using LVM and UEFI in that computer, and I think that the problem is related to UEFI. I solved this using some recent version of debian testing installer from an USB drive and in the rescue mode: 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64'.
