Thank you for report this bug.
- Can you add the output of the command "sudo dpkg -l | grep grub" ?
- if there are some file in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ can you attach them too?
Thanks in advance!

If I install software using the "apt-get" command under command line, I can press "y" or "N" to make the installation continue. However, if I install software using the Ubuntu software center, I cannot press "y" or "N" anymore and the installation will pause forever.
