I'm not sure what you could have seen, but if everything is working, and
apt-get doesn't complain that you have broken packages, then there's
nothing wrong.

Title:
  package grub-efi-amd64 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.14 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 128

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was doing an upgrade and it brought up a setup window that mentioned
  something about grub.

  I didn't realize that the upgrade was still happening and Quit the
  window using the launchpad aux menu quit menu item.  It complained it
  failed and then again on reboot.  I tried to reinstall the grub-efi-
  amd64 and grub-efi-amd64-signed, but it did not bring back up the grub
  window.  I am thinking I missed somnething critical to the setup but
  cannot get the install to re-trigger that grub setup window.

  Is there anyway to either re-trigger the setup / window to appear or
  rollback and re-upgrade?

  Thanks in advance.  Oh one thing is I am new to this so you probably
  need something I should have obviously sent you.  Tell me what you
  need.  I have pasted below from the log file.

  My system is ubuntu 14.04LTS running on Dell inspiron 3458
