No. You are running grub 0.97-r9 (which is a legacy grub):
Don't be confused by the description in eix:
eix knows only one description per package (not one per version),
and it takes this description from the version with the highest
version number (which is grub 2).

I'm puzzled. This is a reply to the OP, but you've cast it as a reply to 
me. Why?

Heh.  I think both of you may be using broken newsreaders.  Vaeth's reply
uses the wrong article number as a 'reference', so his post is actually an
orphan in this thread.

And your KMail should not be threading his post as a reply to yours because
it wasn't.  It was a reply to an article number that doesn't belong in this
thread at all.

Computers are a mystery sometimes.
