Bug Description

When I ran the dist-upgrade to Isadora the process failed on grub2-theme-mint_1.0.3_all.deb.
According to the report it couldn't open the file /boot/grub/linuxmint.png.dpkg-new

I solved this by the workaround (as root)

echo "grub2-theme-mint hold" |dpkg --set-selections
and then running the dist-upgrade again.

Now Isadora is installed but MintUpdate is still unable to install the new version with the same error message.

I (think I) resolved this by removing grub-gfxboot and installing grub2, grub-pc, and grub2-theme-mint. apt-get dist-upgrade was then able to proceed.

I've been using dist-upgrade since linux mint 5 on my system and this is the first time I've had problems upgrading. I also had mismatched kernel/nvidia gpu driver, but that's another issue.

Clem can you confirm whether or not this has been resolved in the current dist-upgrade that is available?
It appears that the GRUB installation on an upgrade to Isadora is breaking.
Thanks for your help.
