[Bug 762594] Re: package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu10 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

The terminal log says:

  /etc/default/grub: 18: Syntax error: newline unexpected

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.
