Looks to me like there could be a bug in the latest version of Grub.

IMPORTANT: If you are planning to do updates, DON'T. Not until there is more word on this.

Those that have, may see a message similar to the following in their log:

Code: [Select]
Setting up grub-common (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Setting up grub2-common (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
Setting up grub-pc-bin (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
Setting up grub-pc (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 703: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Ubuntu is bound to catch this so please wait for further instructions and don't not update yet if you haven't already.

Stay tuned :)
