package grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Killed)

Binary package hint: grub2

While upgrading from previous version, my monitor screen went sleep. when woken up, I could see the black screen with just the mouse pointer. I was at the stage where the installer asks for the changes in grub configuration and let us see the diff and take decision to keep file or overwrite. since user input was needed and there was no way I can see the screen, I need to kill from console. then restarted the system, partial upgrade asked me the same question again and I could complete the installation.
