Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

During an series of package upgrades this morning I was greeted with the following dialog:

"What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?"

Selecting:

"show the differences between the versions"

resulted in a window displaying:

"There are no non-white space differences in the files."

If this is the case, then the new maintainer's version should be automatically installed.
