[Bug 1109088] [NEW] package grub-common 1.98-1ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: package grub-common is already installed and configured

[John McKim]

Public bug reported:

I am not sure which package failed.

The conditions were 2 hard drives installed, Win 7 Primary partition,  and win 8 in logical partitions on 1st hard drive.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on second hard drive.
So now I  have two boot loaders?  Grub gives me choice between Ubuntu and Window 7 - 8,
Go to Win 7 - 8 and get choice of Windows 7 or  8 from windows dual boot loader.  This worked although kind of a long trip to boot up.

I was trying to expand Windows 8 partition with KDE Partition Manager and it was about 30% complete when it crashed and then I lost ability to boot into Windows.   I tried Super Grub 2 ISO Boot disk and it can't find Windows.
I have tried restoring windows with an ISO image but PC still can't find Windows?
Windows partition do not have mounting points per KDE partition manager.

Obviously I am in over my head.

Any suggested help will be appreciated.
