[Bug 2079866] [NEW] grub-pc configure fails during upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04

[Marc Rijken]

Public bug reported:

During upgrade to 24.04 and afterwards when executing "apt upgrade"  I
get the following error:

Setting up grub-pc (2.12-1ubuntu7) ...
Installing for i386-pc platform.
mdadm: /dev/md does not appear to be an md device
grub-install: error: ioctl RAID_VERSION error: Inappropriate ioctl for device.
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
 installed grub-pc package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 grub-pc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The system does function normally, but I can not finish the upgrade.
