Segfault on grub update

[titantoppler@gmail.com]

Hi list,

Did an upgrade on my computer running Wheezy today. grub-pc was one of the packages that needed to be updated. However, it failed with a segfault during the configuration.

Syslog has this to say:

Jun 20 20:34:59 argon kernel: [ 8265.445561] grub-probe[31617]: segfault at 14 ip 08077f0a sp bfd40b00 error 4 in grub-probe[8048000+3d000]

Tried to uninstall and reinstall grub2 + grub-pc (stupid, now I don't dare to reboot the computer), but no dice - grub2 refuses to configure because of grub-pc, grub-pc still segfaults.

Tried to run grub-install (with a --debug option):

<snip>

+ /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=device /boot/grub

Segmentation fault

+ grub_device=

+ exit 1

root@argon:/#

</snip>

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks.
