package grub-pc 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30

I had just run the upgrade to 12.04 (pangolin). Got this error after I booted in the machine. During the upgrade I was asked where grub-pc should be located. I believe I chose the correct disk (/dev/sda--partition is on sda1). BTW, I'm running through VirtualBox.
