## Note above that there are '-ec2' kernels listed. Also, note that the
## errors can be ignored. This was fixed in maverick under bug 623609
## (1.98+20100804-4ubuntu6), but there, the 'update-grub' would exit with
## non-zero, which would cause problems with kernel installation. Because
## kernel it exits zero, we dont care.
## Now, install the new version from proposed:
##
$ sudo apt-get install grub-pc
...
$ dpkg-query --show grub-pc
grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu9
$ sudo update-grub
