[Bug 1371579] Re: package grub2-common 2.02~beta2-9 failed to install/upgrade: cannot copy extracted data for './usr/share/info/grub-dev.info.gz' to '/usr/share/info/grub-dev.info.gz.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream

[Patrick Dickey]

I'm unable to trigger a new bug report, as apport was already running
when I did the first installation. Upon further examination, here's what
I've found is happening: If I install grub-common 2.02~beta2-9 and then
try to do the upgrade, it replaces that with grub-common
2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1 and then grub2-common fails because it's still
looking for grub-common 2.02~beta2-9 (without the ubuntu1 at the end).
