Bug Description
On Ubuntu 16.04LTS. Automatic package updater indicated grub2 needed updating. When it finished it said there was a problem and asked if I wanted to report it. After clicking 'Report it' no further action was taken at that time. I have just rebooted, and the 'there was a problem' dialog box reappear, this time clicking 'Report it' elicited a password prompt and eventual display of this page.
My system appears, on the surface, to be working correctly at the moment, but I have not done much since the reboot.
Bug report #1692175 sounds similar but is for the efi version of grub.
