It'd be better to link the actual bug reports so that people can read them and make their own mind up as to whether it affects them or not.

Hello,
I have been fighting for a few hours to try and fix my boot but I might now need some help.
I have successfully moved my Linux Mint and Windows partitions to a new SSD. I could boot each of them so I deleted my old partitions.
Now I would like to regenerate my GRUB menu. I tried to use a bootable (Mint) CD and to use boot-repair. I also tried that inside my main Linux installation but I get the same following error:
when boot-repair asks me to type in the following commands inside the terminal, I then get a "GRUB is still installed" error. As a consequence, boot-repair cannot finish its job.
The commands only display that grub-common is not installed and cannot be removed

sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb1" apt-get install -fy
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb1" dpkg --configure -a
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb1" apt-get purge -y --force-yes grub-common

Here is the bootinfo report: http://paste.debian.net/192417/

Salut Spontex

Please could you:
1) boot your Mint CD
2) open a terminal, and indicate the output of the following commands:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
ls /mnt/sbin /mnt/usr/sbin | grep install

(if you prefer, we can continue in French here: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=509791&p=29 )

New feature:
an easy way to downgrade to GRUB Legacy.



(please use it as a very last workaround, it is always better to report GRUB2 bugs in order to improve it)
