Public bug reported:
When I was clearing up unpurged packages, grub-pc was not being purged because
of an error "basename: missing operand". Looked at the code and "ucf --purge
/etc/default/grub" was bailing out at line 472, which has the code:
old_mdsum_file="$source_dir/$(basename ${new_file}).md5sum";
Looking at ${new_file} at the code above, sure enough, it wasn't being
initialized at purge (line numbers 349 - 374). So I changed the else to test
if $new_file was there and I was able to purge grub-pc.
