+--- Thread: Possible bug in Grub in latest Install Updates (/showthread.php?tid=4078)
Re: Possible bug in Grub in latest Install Updates - Artim - 05-23-2017
To be fair, this kind of bug in an update is thankfully pretty rare. I think it's probably a good idea to at least "lurk" in the forums a bit before applying updates. I would update only twice a week or so, to give it time for news to hit the forums and workarounds posted or updates fixed.
One thing I really liked about Mint (back when my aging hardware could run Mint Xfce) was the updater that helped me avoid bugaboos like this one.

Ran apt-get update then checked apt policy grub-pc on a couple of systems..
On the 32bit candidate was 3.11
On the 64bit candidate was still 3.9
Installed was 3.9 on both..
