I have been having the same problem. I have found this bug via
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10813471#post10813471
My problem differs a little bit, I'm seeing a message that says:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
Here is my full output:
root@ubuntu:/# sudo apt-get install -f
sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu
