Bug#667510: grub2-common: grub-install fail on gpt disk with error: will not proceed with blocklists

Hello Colin

Looks like my partition does use block lists as the --force option did restore 
grub MBR. 

I must admit that I was sidtracked by the warning about gpt. After many 
experimentations with bios_grub flag (then with system-rescue-cd and fsck :-/ 
), I was reluctant to try another "dangerous" option. 

Indeed, this whole situation begun with -20. The postinst script of -21 did 
not fix the problem. 

I'll let you decide whether that's a bug or an accidental feature. Feel free 
to close this bug.


Thanks for the help


Dominique
