Public bug reported:

Dear team,

I need some help, as I'm lost finding relevant reports & help
suggestions in launchpad. My Monday's (Nov 12, 2012) upgrade attempt
finished, although with errors. I can use my system, but I cannot
update/install/remove any packages. apport seems to crash every time I
try to report errors.

grub-pc:
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:2012-11-12 13:08:10,311 DEBUG running 
apport_pkgfailure() grub-pc: subprocess installed post-installation script 
returned error exit status 1
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:2012-11-12 13:08:10,619 ERROR got an error from 
dpkg for pkg: 'grub-pc': 'subprocess installed post-installation script 
returned error exit status 1'

apport: unpack requires a byte object of length 4, no error report sent.

Software updater: Software index is broken: It is impossible to install
or remove any software.

linux versions: e.g.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic (--remove):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic
 linux-image-3.2.0-30-generic
 linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic

The last one stops me from doing anything to correct the errors by
installing other/newer/better versions.

What do you need to identify the errors?
