[Bug 1830066] Re: package linux-image-3.13.0-170-generic 3.13.0-170.220 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 1

[Steve Langasek]

You have the grub package installed on your system, which is grub 1.x
and is not the default bootloader in Ubuntu 14.04; and you have not
configured the package, which means it causes kernel installation to
fail at the bootloader stage.

The solution is for you to remove the grub package from your system with
'sudo apt-get remove --purge grub' as this package is not needed.  You
should be using the default grub-pc package instead.
