Bug description:
  Setting up grub-pc (2.04-1ubuntu26.4) ...
  dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
   installed grub-pc package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub-gfxpayload-lists:
   grub-gfxpayload-lists depends on grub-pc (>= 1.99~20101210-1ubuntu2); however:
    Package grub-pc is not configured yet.

  dpkg: error processing package grub-gfxpayload-lists (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
  No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
                            Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-0ubuntu9.1) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   grub-pc
   grub-gfxpayload-lists
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  ...seems that something is broken here.
