Thanks for your report. Is it a wubi install ? What is the filesystem type of /boot ? This is very likely a dup of bug 252900.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is a wubi install.

The file system /boot is FAT 32

Thanks for your feedback. Sadly, symlinks are not supported on fat filesystems a workaround is to use ntfs instead but it's not always possible depending on your system setup. This has already been reported and I'm marking this report as duplicate of bug 252900.

Thank you and don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
