[Dominik Schulz]

While trying to install grub-pc on a Debian Squeeze the following error 
occured:

/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: not a directory.
Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/sda1 failed.
Please report this together with the output of "/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-
map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=fs -v /boot/grub" to <address@hidden>
