Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100527-2
Severity: normal
faerun:/home/tepperly# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100527-2) ...
^Cdpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):

aErrors were encountered while processing:

I left this running for a few hours, and I eventually had to do a
Control-C to stop it.
