I encountered similar problem with i8kutils in two different ways:
First, because the fan is noisy. I tried to follow the solutions and I
ended up with the same problem explained in the bug description. (Note
that my laptop is HP envy.)
Second for a different reason I ran
$sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub
but it led to this error
Preparing to unpack .../grub_0.97-29ubuntu66_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking grub (0.97-29ubuntu66) over (0.97-29ubuntu66) ...

I appreciate your help.
