Dear Maintainer,

   sudo apt-upgrade hangs when it is running grub-install and the grub
   partition is on a removable disk.

   I have Debian derivate Q4OS installed on a 128GB USB stick and
   EndlessOS (another Debian derivate with read only root filesystem)
   installed on the main disk. apt-upgrade hangs when it installs a new
   kernel during grub-install. Using pstree -p for finding that process
   and killing it after a
      manual sudo grub-install --target-x86_64-efi --removable
   in a separate window lets apt upgrade finish

   Further information may be found in the Q4OS forum at
