It's probably the same bug.  I presume it's at least partly my fault --
doing the upgrade from Karmic Koala as a relative newbie (although I'm
an experienced Unix programmer -- decades -- not really sysadmin).

Anyway at some point it popped up a dialog box listing all my disk
partitions suggesting it might install grub sommat.  I checked all the
boxes and said forward.  (It didn't offer any suggestions as to whether
that was a good thing to do or not).

After awhile it tells me it failed and it might leave my system in a bad
state -- again without giving me any useful information.  So at least
one of the times it did that I just blew it away, hoping it would abort
and we could start over.

Such was not to be, of course.

It will be interesting to see if the system will boot when all is done.
