Bug#352207: grub-update does not work since update to 0.97-3

[Kristian Edlund]

Hi again

It doesn't fail on my machine, so either it is caused by the amd64
architecture or the raid device.

It seems to fail around the command readlink -f /dev/sda1
Can you send the output of

readlink -f /dev/sda1
and
readlink -f /dev/sda1 ; echo $?
