Indeed it is. Looks like you hit one bug I was under the impression should already have been fixed some time ago in the migration process from some specific setup of grub on 12.04 we'd normally see migrating to 14.04, not 16.04. Was this system previously upgraded from 12.04 too?
The issue is definitely specific to your setup, in any case. Even seeing the grub install twice looks odd: Installing for i386-pc platform. Installation finished. No error reported. Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. Installation finished. No error reported. Could you please run 'debconf-show grub-pc' and add the output to this bug report, after making sure it doesn't contain sensitive information? I'm adding the 'bot-stop-nagging' tag here since this appears to be a failure with a package from proposed, but is not at all related to the stable updates being staged there since this is not an UEFI system. If you're getting this kind of issue but didn't mean to test pre-release stable updates; please follow the steps (well, unchecking rather than checking checkboxes...) here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed Thanks! ** Tags added: bot-stop-nagging ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705946 Title: package grub-common 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.12 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1705946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
