I just recently installed Xubuntu 12.04. Instantly after installing it I updated all my packages, however one package, grub-pc, failed to install. I'm not sure what caused it to fail, but here is the error:
Code:
bui@bluefly:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages have been kept back:
hplip hplip-data libhpmud0 libsane-hpaio linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic printer-driver-hpcups printer-driver-hpijs

I got worried and thought if I restarted my GRUB would fail to function. Unfortunately it did, and now I have this error:
Code:
error: ELF sectors outside core
grub rescue>
I'm stuck here and I'm not sure what steps to take. Advice would be appreciated. If it helps, here is a Boot Info Script log I took before restarting:

/dev/sda is my hard drive, /dev/sda1 is the partition Xubuntu is on.
Also, I ran boot-repair, however it failed, still giving me the same GRUB error. Here's the output log:

Thanks!
