Which is something that should never happen no matter what. The very fact that this can happen is _the_ bug (unless, of course, one manually runs a command to purposefully create that situation, with some kind of --force option or after answering "yes" to a warning prompt). Assuming that your diagnosis is correct, that is. Of which I am not completely sure, given that you have a history of negating facts (as in "I haven't seen anyone report this on a fresh install"). -- 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
