Title:
  grub won't install after ubuntu 18.04 installation

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Now I very meticulously cleaned the hard drive with gparted, created a GPT partition table, created a FAT32 partition of 500MB and set both ESP and BOOT flags, and then created the rest of the partitions I wanted, including a SWAP.
  I then chose "Do something else" and there the ESP partition was clearly visible and would be used. After I declared all the other partitions, the installations process __AGAIN__ gave me the old stubborn error "the grub-efi-amd64 package failed to install into /target/".

  The computer I'm trying to install is a HP elite 8200 with and I5-2500 and a 500Gb hd. 
  I couldn't find anything in the BIOS settings that would indicate that is was set to legacy mode BIOS so I presume that it is running in UEFI mode. 
  If you need further information, don't hesitate to mail me about it.

  A final note:
  After using Linux for many years now, I really got to love and respect it very much, and I don't even want to think of what life would be without it!!!
  I hope that you on Canonical also love and respect this wonderful gift that Linus Torwalds left us with - to make us free and powerful computer users. I really hope that you would __FIX__ this error once and for all (as it really did work in the previous versions) and release it as a new 18.04 LTS version.

  Kindest regards
  Gunnar
