This is what error i'm getting after update today...

Setting up grub-pc (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 703: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-pc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I ran...
sudo dpkg --configure -a

but got this error...

- Open in a text editor and with root privileges the file "/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst";
- Go to line 699 and manually add the missing ";" in the conditional expression before "then", like this:

(line 699)> if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10; then
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^------
- Save and close;
- Now re-run in a terminal "sudo dpkg --configure grub-pc" and all should be fine.

Should I leave the semicolon after 3.10; or replace it with '';" like this:

(line 699)> if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10; ";" then

or

(line 699)> if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10";" then

No. You're line 699 is already correct. What does line 703 look like?

[eddieg538]

All line 703 has is fi

However, there was an update today that seemed to fix the error. Thank you all.
