Title:
  package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  This, and other install/upgrade problems with a host of other packages
  (bug-buddy, evolution, gnome apps, totem to name but a few) has been
  occurring for about a month or so, and seemed to coincide with
  updating evolution via the update manager (though I'm not certain).

  I think I've managed to fix most of the install/upgrade errors after
  reading an article that recommended editing the post installation and
  post remove files for the various apps. This involved negating the
  'set -e' line by typing a hash (#) at the beginning of the line. In
  some cases it was necessary to negate all lines within the file by the
  same method. However, doing the above doesn't appear to have worked in
  this case.

  If further information is required, please specify exactly where it is
  to be found, as I'm new to linux.
