[Bug 874256] Re: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is not a bug in Ubuntu.  /etc/default/grub is a configuration file in shell script format, and you have local changes to the file which cause it to not be in valid shell script syntax.  You probably have an incorrect space on this line.

** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
