after today's upgrade (full-upgrade), I have installed all the packages available in the repository, but I still have the problem in my installation.
Your suspected problem was probably not?

Preface: »#« means root

After an attempt to renew the Grub configuration, I get the following error message.

# update-grub
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/dev/mapper/sda3_crypt'.

But the system can be started.

The error message during installation:

# apt full-upgrade

Even after today's installation of the packages: 

iF  initramfs-tools                      0.133                           all          generic modular initramfs generator (automation)
ii  initramfs-tools-core                 0.133                           all          generic modular initramfs generator (core tools)

the problem could not be fixed.

I always restarted after installing the packages: udev and initramfs.
It is a notebook with UEFI (partition).

What data do you need from me to solve the problem?
I hope I can help you fix this tricky bug.
