    grub2 2.00-18ubuntu2 fails to install with "grub-probe: error: failed to get canonica

    I've been bitten by this. There's already a bug report:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...2/+bug/1223959

    More specifically in my case it was the update to grub-pc. I don't actually have grub2 installed. It seems to be a meta-package. I haven't needed it anyway.

    Code:
    paul@lubuntu-64:~$ aptitude show grub2
    Package: grub2                           
    New: yes
