Title:
  package grub-pc (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Don't really know what happened. Install claimed to complete
  successfully (with an unspecified package install error) but new
  install would not boot. I switched over to tty1 before rebooting the
  second time, and manually forced a grub-efi install. I don't think it
  should have tried to install grub-pc on this system, but it failed to
  install grub-efi and left me with an unbootable system.
