The error in your log is:

This shows that you have some sort of invalid local symlinks called
'K01.depend.stop', 'K01.depend.boot', and 'K01.depend.start' in one or
more of the /etc/rc*.d/ directories on your system.  These are invalid;
the /etc/init.d/.depend.{boot,start,stop} files are configuration
information for startpar, *not* init scripts, and creating init script
symlinks to them is an error.

You will need to remove these invalid symlinks and re-attempt the
upgrade.

This is not a bug in the grub package.

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
