Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 16.04LTS. Automatic package updater indicated grub2 needed
updating. When it finished it said there was a problem and asked if I
wanted to report it. After clicking 'Report it' no further action was
taken at that time. I have just rebooted, and the 'there was a problem'
dialog box reappear, this time clicking 'Report it' elicited a password
prompt and eventual display of this page.
My system appears, on the surface, to be working correctly at the
moment, but I have not done much since the reboot.
Bug report #1692175 sounds similar but is for the efi version of grub.
