Found the offending part: /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme which exited with status
1 as it failed on
test -d "${GRUB_PREFIX}"; cd "${GRUB_PREFIX}"
and GRUB_PREFIX was not set.
As a band aid I cd'd to "/boot/grub" literally.
The distribution upgrade must have removed the definition of
GRUB_PREFIX, whereever it may have been before.
