After grub-pc is upgraded on my SSD with GPT, it no longer has a BIOS Boot Partition until I manually chroot in and set it myself

[Jason Vitosky]

Binary package hint: grub2

Grub boots fine immediately after install... but as soon as the grub-pc package is upgraded, it leads me to this error upon the next boot:

"error: the symbol 'grub_term_outputs_disabled' not found Grub rescue > "

The solution was to install the BIOS Boot Partition... "sudo parted /dev/sdb set 1 bios_grub on".

This BIOS Boot Partition bit should be automatic, shouldn't it??

Here's any output that you should need... http://pastebin.ca/1809635

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
