grub in my sid system broken

[Paul Scott <pslist@ultrasw.com>]

Hi,

On my sid system grub stops with a simple grub prompt and I have enter
the commands manually.  I may have missed something with recent (last
few months) changes to grub.

The grub man pages I have give only the brief parameter explanations but
not enough information to make sense of this.

The following error may or may not be related since I had not problem
booting from this kernel which is what I am running right now

Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
