[Bug 1632560] Re: grub-installer fails, can't dpkg remove grub-pc

[Hynek Suchy]

I can confirm this bug.

I was trying to install Lubuntu 16.10 (32bit) on older HP Compaq nx7300
laptop.

Installation wasn't finished because of error in grub installer, it said something like:
grub-pc failed to install into /target/

I was installing from usb flash disk (made with rufus), first I suspected on faulty usb image, 
so I've burned lubuntu 16.10. image on CD and booted from it. 
Nevertheless installation failed the same way.

Installation of lubuntu 16.04 succeeded both from CD and usb flash disk.
