Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99~rc1-13
Severity: serious

[UPGRADE] grub-pc 1.98+20100804-14 -> 1.99~rc1-13

When upgrading, aptitude gets stuck with:

Nothing suspect from dmesg - any idea how to quickly get more precise
info ?  Not sure I can get out of this to retry except by rebooting,
which would be quite a shame...
