package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Terminated)

Binary package hint: grub2

dpkg seemed to hang on this package. I had to use "kill pidnum" to get the overall installation to continue. At this point, I have not rebooted (yet - I will as soon as I finish this).

Ubuntu was launched with a Ubuntu 10.4 VMWARE appliance downloaded from VMWARE and VMWARE-tools had been installed prior to the Update Manager being invoked.

The update manager tried to re-queue the package, but the same thing occurred.
