Using the same cisco system, I deployed trusty. I then installed a package and installation of the package around the same location. I then found that it was hanging in grub-probe. I kill that process a couple of times and the installation proceeded and completed afterwards. The Killed message showed that it was the right grub-probe process that I killed.
