Comment 5 for bug 676452

I restored the backup of Kubuntu 9 and did the following modifications before trying to dist-upgrade again:

- Restored the original state of the memtest86+ package so upgrading it cannot fail
- As I've said when the problem occured first there was no grub installed before dist-upgrade and the dist-upgrade installed "grub-pc" due to dependencies and failed. So this time I tried to install "grub-pc" myself first and get it to configure properly which I was unable to because "grub-probe /" would always fail and the postinstall script depends on it. Therefore I gave up with "grub-pc" and installed the normal "grub" package which worked properly, maybe because its still the old grub and not grub2.

Then I tried to dist-upgrade again and it WORKED :) So the workaround for NFS-boot users is: Make sure that "grub" is installed, not "grub-pc".
