Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

i booted the computer, which is tripple booting 11.04 64-bit, 10.04 64-bit and Windows 7 32-bit, and immediately ran the GUI for the update process. When it initially hung, i started a program for taking notes, called Maple. When I checked to see how the update was going it hadn't changed. After half an hour, i did "killall -e dpkg"
