OK, so that's why the removable media path stuff isn't working for you. There *was* a small window of time where the code I added in grub-installer was doing the wrong thing with setting that variable (#792247) which may explain this - if that's the cause of your issue, I'm sorry. :-( There's a simple fix for you now - "dpkg-reconfigure -plow grub-efi-amd64" and set that variable to true. It should now work as needed. >> grub-install is absolutely called when upgrading grub binary packages - >> it's needed to put new binaries in place. update-grub only updates the >> grub config file that will be used at boot. > >strange?
