Thanks for your report.

If you still have this issue could you please edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst as root:
$gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst
change the first line to (add an 'x' )
#!/bin/bash -ex

Then run
$sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 2>&1 |tee /tmp/grub-pc.postinst.log

and attach the file /tmp/grub-pc.postinst.log to this report.
Thanks.
