[Bug 2107681] Re: dpkg can not remove broken package

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and contributing to
Ubuntu. /var/lib/dpkg/info/ubuntu-realtime.postrm calls update-grub and
that failed in your case. Re-assigning to grub2.

** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => grub2 (Ubuntu)
