Bug Description
When I updated grub-pc to version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 using Update Manager, it asked me to configure the "GRUB install devices". I selected one of the drives, and I clicked "Forward". It then asked "Continue without installing GRUB?" I made that box was unchecked, and clicked "Forward". It took me back to the list of devices that grub could be installed on. I kept going in a loop like this until I gave up and checked the "Continue without installing GRUB?" box.
After the update completed, I ran
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome grub-pc
and it had no problem.
I tried running
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome grub-pc
to see if I could recreate the problem, but it worked also.

I saw this bug myself but assumed it had to do with my recent frankenstein brain swap (rsync-based install to a new hard drive in my laptop). If others are seeing it, I guess there's a real bug here.
