Title:
  Grub-pc fails to configure after being upgraded

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-pc

  After allowing "Update Manager" to update packages, it complains that
  grub-pc was unable to fully install.

  Upon running install/remove/etc. commands in aptitude, the following
  errors are produced:

  The following partially installed packages will be configured:
    grub-pc 
  0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
  Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
  Setting up grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu7) ...
  dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   grub-pc
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

  dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20 ***(Worth noting that sometimes aptitude gives error status 128 here)***

  The command sudo dpkg --configure grub-pc yields:

  Setting up grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu7) ...
  dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   grub-pc

  This is likely not a grub2 problem, but an Ubuntu packaging problem.
  Will be happy to run any commands/post any information that helps this bug get resolved.
