[Bug 1045178] Re: grub-install failed - "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1724, in <module>

Bug #1050590 is marked as duplicate of this bug. Are you sure this is
the case? I see nothing here to indicate the following issue described
in Bug #1050590:


["'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot." 

This exact error occurs on a Lenovo B570 while attempting to install
UBuntu 12.10 daily builds, hence the special documentation for
installing Ubuntu on Lenovo B570s with instructions for overriding grub-
efi with 64-bit installations in order to boot after installation (the
B570 uses MBR, not GPT) no longer works, since grub-efi-amd64 will not
even install in the first place, for whatever reason.

This really ought to be dealt with before release. It's a show-stopping
bug for affected hardware (at least some ASUS and Lenovo).]
