Title:
  package grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade:
  ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed
  by signal (Killed)

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  While upgrading from previous version, my monitor screen went sleep.
  when woken up, I could see the black screen with just the mouse
  pointer. I was at the stage where the installer asks for the changes
  in grub configuration and let us see the diff and take decision to
  keep file or overwrite. since user input was needed and there was no
  way I can see the screen, I need to kill from console. then restarted
  the system, partial upgrade asked me the same question again and I
  could complete the installation.
