[Bug 1009531] [NEW] configuring grub-pc install devices did not work

[Edwin Grubbs]

Public bug reported:

When I updated grub-pc to version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 using Update Manager,
it asked me to configure the "GRUB install devices". I selected one of
the drives, and I clicked "Forward". It then asked "Continue without
installing GRUB?"  I made that box was unchecked, and clicked "Forward".
It took me back to the list of devices that grub could be installed on.
I kept going in a loop like this until I gave up and checked the
"Continue without installing GRUB?" box.

After the update completed, I ran
 dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome grub-pc
and it had no problem.

I tried running
 dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome grub-pc
to see if I could recreate the problem, but it worked also.
