I have a new precise install on which I have the exact same problem. The
install works, as soon as I try to do an upgrade on a server that
requires a kernel upgrade I see the above problem.
GRUB_PREFIX is not set wherever it's expected to be and this causes
/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to fail
Found the offending part: /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme which exited with status
1 as it failed on
test -d ${GRUB_PREFIX}; cd ${GRUB_PREFIX}
and GRUB_PREFIX was not set.
As a band aid I cd'd to /boot/grub literally.
The distribution upgrade must have removed the definition of
GRUB_PREFIX,
For me, this bug report is settled. Somebody still may want to publish a
cure to the underlying problem/error.

upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 -
Looks like the problems removing older linux versions come from grub-pc
errors; extract from /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log:
Removing linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic ...
Examining /etc/kernel/postrm.d .
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools 3.2.0-29-generic
I can't reinstall grub-pc as the removal of the old linux versions
(29,30,31) cannot be unselected in synaptic. Catch 22!

Obviously the old kernel files already have been deleted:
ls -la /boot
