[Bug 764913] Re: package grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

The terminal log says:

  /etc/default/grub: 11: splash: not found

It seems that you've edited /etc/default/grub in a way that made its
syntax invalid. You need to edit it again and fix it. You can test
whether you've got it right using 'sh -n /etc/default/grub', which
should produce no output if the file has valid syntax.

Bug 484499 is about the fact that the upgrade crashed rather than
warning you about this and giving you the opportunity to fix it.
