You have a really old version of grub installed (v1), but an error message reportsgrub-legacy-ec2is not installed so installing that may fix your issue (I haven't used old grub in years which is why the hesitation)

I've tried to auto remove, but this also fails with the same errors. Regarding the grub, my present version 2. As you can see the running kernel is 4.4.0-116-generic.

You have a really old version of grub installed (v1), but an error message reportsgrub-legacy-ec2is not installed so installing that may fix your issue (I haven't used old grub in years which is why the hesitation)

I've tried to auto remove, but this also fails with the same errors. Regarding the grub, my present version 2. As you can see the running kernel is 4.4.0-116-generic.

sudo dpkg -P grub-legacy-ec2
To get rid of possible remains files.
It would be better from me to ask over dpkg.
If errorrs pop up, but only when
sudo mv /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 $HOME
Remove
The same please for
/boot/grub/default
and for
/boot/grub/menu.lst
then dry to remove the old kernel
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.13.0-68-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-68-generic
Next is important so you do not end up without any bootloader.
sudo apt install --reinstall grub-common grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub-pc-bin grub2-common
And now install grub2 bootcode. We don't know which one is present in mbr.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

sudo update-grub
