Public bug reported:
I tried to complete a few standard updates and the grub file appears to be
giving problems. Upon reboot, the little red (Do Not Enter) icon is found on
the upper tool bar. I tried Synaptic to reinstall, and it now says the file is
in an unstable manner, and should be reinstalled before trying to uninstall it.
Hope this helps.
