I could just repeat it myself. But this was the partitioning layout:

lance at lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted -l
[sudo] password for lance:

Yes, the 80GB drive was blank.

The Oneiric media:

Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012)

And the apt history log shows it was installed 2012-04-19, will attach.

Do you want me to repeat? If so should I use the same partition?

I currently have sda14, 17 ,and 18 unused.

Of course installing Oneiric + the upgrade will take approximately 2 1/2
to 3 hours.

Title:
  package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic 3.2.0-23.36 failed to
  install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation
  script returned error exit status 2

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I encountered four errors while upgrading from Oneiric to Precise, and
  upon reboot apport auto-launched reporting all four. This is one of
  them. I have a screenshot to attach and a bit more info so be patient.

  Two of the others are bug 986791 and bug 986792. I also need to clean
  up a couple of duplicates - I've never encountered apport going wild
  with respawning error reports like this so give me a bit to sort this
  out.
