Try:

sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst-bad
sudo apt-get -f install

I had this problem as well, running Ubuntu 10.04 on a VPS. It is allegedly a common error on new VPS'es where your hosting company has modified the Ubuntu image to fit into the XEN virtualisation platform.

actionparsnip's solution worked for me.

In my case, Grub could also be removed, since the XEN-platform boots directly into Ubuntu. However: do NOT try that without consulting your host's support agent first! I am no expert, and if you do this on the wrong type of platform it will probably break your boot process. and - consequently - Ubuntu will not be able to start.

Can you help with this problem?
