Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  i booted the computer, which is tripple booting 11.04 64-bit, 10.04
  64-bit and Windows 7 32-bit, and immediately ran the GUI for the
  update process. When it initially hung, i started a program for taking
  notes, called Maple. When I checked to see how the update was going it
  hadn't changed. After half an hour, i did "killall -e dpkg"
