[Bug 953866] Re: package grub-pc 1.99-17ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

[Brian Murray]

You seem to have a configuration error in your /etc/default/grub
configuration file.  You have the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq
i915.semaphores=1

Notice how some parameters appear outside of the quotation marks.  This
is incorrect and the line should look like:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq
i915.semaphores=1"

Thanks and good luck!
