This is how I fixed it:

1) Boot from a Live CD
2) Reinstall grub as explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD

Just in case the link above stops working, this is what I did:

# sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
("/dev/sda4" is where my linux data partition -containing also "/boot"- can be found. The other three previous ones are OSX stuff).
# sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev
# sudo chroot /mnt
# upgrade-grub
# grub-install /dev/sda
(yes... this is "/dev/sda", without the "4")

Once it boots again, the "update manager" does not find any new grub package... so I guess this won't happen again (after all the new grub was installed, we just re-created its config file)
