Hi Felix,
The new grub2 package is pushed, with the theme split out from the main
package which is a Suggest like os-prober.
Please remove the commented THEME line in your /etc/default/grub before
updating, as this is now handled by filetriggers and will possibly upset
things - I had not considered that possibility (commented line) and may
need to look again at how that is handled.
Please see the updated README.Mageia in the package.
I will now hopefully have time to report your grub2-menulst2cfg issue ;)
Barry
