I guess that's a bug in ucf, unless its maintainer says grub-pc is using
it wrongly.  We only call ucfq once, so that call would be 'ucfq
--with-colons /etc/default/grub'.

Please indicate which version of ucf you had installed at this point, as
it's been changed recently in unstable.

use Cwd qw[abs_path];

is on line 30 of /usr/bin/ucfq and hence in the ucf class

Placing it on line 505 and hence in the conffile class corrects this
error and makes the abs_path function available in the conffile class.

abs_path is only used in ucfq in this one place so this seems ok. I'll
happily admit I've no idea if the ucf class as defined by ucfq is imported
and used (or meant to be) in anything else that could expect abs_path,
but obviously if so the use of Cwd should be duplicated in the conffile
class rather then moved  from the ucf class.

Hope this helps,

Niall

p.s. Colin this issue was introduced after 3.0025+nmu3 and is present
from ucf >= 3.0026:
