Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: important
On every run update-grub segfaults in grub-probe:
rockhopper:~# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Segmentation fault
rockhopper:~# dpkg --configure grub-pc
Setting up grub-pc (1.97~beta3-1) ...
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

The most similar bug report I saw here was saying that symlinks and LVM are responsible, but whilst I do use LVM there are no symlinks anywhere I can see... I know it used to work, so something must have broken recently.
