[Bug 1766018] Re: grub-pc-bin not available on chroot fresh install

[Bump]

My fault didn't explain properly. My computer is UEFI but want to
perform a MBR install to boot on legacy systems. I follow this video:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=F0b4I89LY5E

chroot at 12:20
grub-install at 15:30, which is where I get the error with modinfo.sh. It's fixed by installing grub-pc-bin inside the chrooted environment.

Is this information enough or do you need a video?

Title:
  grub-pc-bin not available on chroot fresh install

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  From live ubuntu-18.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso
  When running "grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda" get this error:

  grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist.
  Please specify --target or --directory.

  It's solved with "apt install grub-pc-bin grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-
  amd64-signed"

  That's because I'm trying to install grub to a MBR partition table in
  a UEFI computer. Please add the package by default.
