Comment (by boklm):
I am able to reproduce this error in an Ubuntu 16.10 VM. It seems to be
caused by `/usr/sbin/update-grub` returning a error when run inside the
wheezy chroot, and then the cleanup after this error not unmounting things
in the right order.
I have not been able to find why update-grub is failing when we are using
Ubuntu 16.10. The logs only say this:
{{{
2017-05-05 13:51:00,774 DEBUG : ['chroot', '/tmp/tmpdGQM2s', '/usr/sbin
/update-grub', '-y']
2017-05-05 13:51:00,779 INFO : Searching for GRUB installation
directory ... found: /boot/grub
2017-05-05 13:51:00,886 INFO : Probing devices to guess BIOS drives.
This may take a long time.
}}}
