[Bug 1391070] [NEW] package grub-pc 2.02~beta2-15 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 143

[Paul Gear]

Public bug reported:

I experienced this bug when upgrading to utopic.  I had to kill -9 the
scripts that were being called by /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst.
The issue turned out to be my Garmin GPS watch, which was plugged in for
charging at the time.  After I pulled it out, I was able to upgrade the
package fine.
