Thanks for your report

The error is
=====
Setting up linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic (2.6.24-16.30) ...

Running depmod.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic

Could not find postinst hook script [update-grub].

Looked in: '/bin', '/sbin', '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin'

dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic (--configure):

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

If it's still an issue then could you please install the package grub and retry the upgrade ?
