[Bug 1590313] [NEW] package grub-efi-ia32 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Cobalt]

Public bug reported:

While upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, the program informed me that it wants
to edit the grub configuration file and asked what I want to do with it.
I selected review the changes. After reviewing the changes, I went back
to the menu and selected launch a new shell to examine the changes. Then
debconf was not responding so I killed the process. I manually edited
the grub configuration file. The installation stalled. I resumed it by
exiting sudo mode.

I received these error messages upon resuming the Ubuntu 16.04 Upgrade:

Could not install 'grub-efi-ia32'
The upgrade will continue but the 'grub-efi-ia32' package may not be in a working state.

subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Could not install the upgrades
