[Bug 1163618] Re: package grub-pc 2.00-13ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 10

[Steve Langasek]

The bug title talks about an install/upgrade, but the dpkg log shows you
trying to remove grub:

Generating grub.cfg ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /boot/grub/unicode.pf2GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=None.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for .  Check your device.map.

What exactly were you trying to do?

** Package changed: grub (Ubuntu) => grub2 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
