I'm not sure how I fixed it. I followed the instructions provided in some of the comments above by some other victim of the issue. But it was almost certainly the second way. Will I (and others in my situation) hit the problem again "only" when dist-upgrading to 14.10 (which is already out btw) or also when installing the grub updates that have been available for a while? (which I have always avoided installing just in case)? Secondly and most important, what should I do "so that the package system knows" whatever it needs to know, so that I can dist-upgrade without screwing up my working system again? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289977 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
