Title:
  package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu12 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  PC was updating nicely and then just stopped. It took so long that I
  decided to use the app to kill the application. At that point I got a
  pop-up saying that due to updates the pc had to reboot (as if the pc
  had finished updating normally). I let it reboot. Then I used update
  manager again and it said that it could only do a partially update do
  to problems in the past. It turned out that it had problems with
  /etc/default/grub, because this had been modified by hand earlier.
  This is correct: it's a dual boot system and I have edited the file so
  windows would be started automatically. It gave me a screen in which I
  could choose what it had to do and I let it change grub by the
  maintainers version. Now the update manager says the system is up to
  date.....
