[Bug 1524959] [NEW] Lubuntu 14.04.03 installer crashes

[caspar luc]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to install lubuntu 14.04 alongside lubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 (don't ask why).
The grub2 that comes packaged with lubuntu 15.10 has been installed to the MBR and it seems that because of that little manipulation, grub-installer from any new install will miserably fail and crash.
