package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[ceco]

Binary package hint: grub2

Scenario: VMWare running under Mac OS X.
New Installation of 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Beta - all defaults
After install completes - perform software upgrade.
GRUB-PC window shows up, there is "Forward" button. If you select "do not install GRUB" - installation proceeds.
If you do not - nothing happens.
Went to prompt, killed the process to continue the installation.
The error code reported at the end of installation process was 128 ( I believe )

(I marked the upstream task Invalid as this is a bug in the packaging, not upstream.)

From what I understand of your report, this seems to be essentially the same problem as bug 580408, so I'm marking it as a duplicate. Please undo that if this is incorrect, explaining why.

Ragazzi ho risolto, ecco come fare:

- Aprire gestore pacchetti;
- Trovare grub-pc e "rimuovere completamente";
- Intallare nuovamente grub-pc e riavviare;
- Al riavvio da terminale digitare: "sudo update-grub".

Buona fortuna. Good Good Good
