package grub-pc 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Pete Stucke]

Binary package hint: grub2

Crash reported after attempting to upgrade from Synaptic. After reviewing the dpkg log, it looks like the previous error I encountered with the VMWare player -- not grub2 -- is causing the problem.
