Hi Brian, I've installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 in a VM and I cannot reproduce the issue anymore... Could it be that the packages are updated during installation? In my original description there is not enough details regarding the original versions of the update manager and other relevant packages, so I'm not sure how to check this out.
If I remember correctly, we discovered an issue when testing an OEM version (see lp:1454090), and I tried on a stock Ubuntu image and found out I had a similar issue. Not sure what could have changed since then that makes stock Ubuntu 14.04.2 work fine now... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1457353 Title: Software Updater freezes when trying to upgrade grub-pc package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1457353/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
