Bug#664718: grub-pc 1.99-18: grub-setup: error: cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-17
Severity: important

/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk
or to a partition. This is a BAD idea..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly.

This renders the box unbootable. Fixed by downgrading to 1.99-17:

Nastavuji balík grub-common (1.99-17) …
Nastavuji balík grub2-common (1.99-17) …
Nastavuji balík grub-pc-bin (1.99-17) …
Nastavuji balík grub-pc (1.99-17) …

Installation finished. No error reported.
