[Bug 1402038] Re: package grub-common 1.99-21ubuntu3.17 failed to install/upgrade: cannot copy extracted data for './usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2' to '/usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to install a particular package.  Please execute the following
command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again.  This will likely resolve your
issue, but the failure could be caused by filesystem or memory
corruption.  So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a
memory test.  Thanks in advance!

[This is an automated message.  I apologize if it reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]
