[Bug 1682993] Re: package grub-common 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9 failed to install/upgrade: package grub-common is already installed and configured

[Phillip Susi]

Looks like apt thinks there are some packages that need configured, but
dpkg thinks they are already configured:

dpkg: error processing package chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra (--configure):
 package chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is already installed and configured
dpkg: error processing package libfreetype6:amd64 (--configure):
 package libfreetype6:amd64 is already installed and configured
dpkg: error processing package grub-common (--configure):
 package grub-common is already installed and configured


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