Unable to execute "sudo apt upgrade": Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't know what this line from /etc/default/grub is supposed to do, but it needs an end quote

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=noncq

The following error was reported

/etc/default/grub: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

(Parenthetical note: After editing /etc/default/grub, you need to issue a sudo update-grub command to incorporate the changes. After you edited /etc/default/grub to make this change, either you didn't issue the command, or you ignored the resulting errors)
