About a year ago, at the end of a dist-update (not an upgrade, just the
usual updates) the Update Manager GUI application announced that it was
unable to configure grub-pc. The problem remains. I can install or
remove packages, but at the end I always get an error message that
grub-pc could not be configured. The computer boots normally and
everything works.

I tried update-grub, which executed fine without error. But afterwards
I still get the error message that grub-pc could not be configured.
Today I also did sudo apt autoremove, which ended with:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up grub-pc (2.04-1ubuntu26.4) ...
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
 installed grub-pc package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 grub-pc

Then I did sudo apt reinstall grub-pc, which ended with:

Setting up grub-pc (2.04-1ubuntu26.4) ...
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
 installed grub-pc package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:  grub-pc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I also tried dpkg --configure grub-pc, which executed normally until the
end when it complained that it could not reconfigure grub-pc. And
every time I invoke apt to install or remove a package, whether I do it
from the command line or in a GUI (Update Manager, Synaptic) it always
ends with a error message about grub-pc.

I've been living with this for a long time and I'm tired of it.
