[Bug 1868292] [NEW] Install "failed to install grub" (automatic crash report failed to connect to crash database)

[MarkF]

Public bug reported:

ISO testing 20.04 Mate daily-image (20200320). The installer failed with
a msg about being unable to install grub on sda2. I didn't spend much
time memorizing the error msg because it said it would automatically
report the crash. But, that process failed saying it was unable to
connect to the crash-reporting database, and I should check my network
connection. I immediately ran ubuntu-bug from the command line, it
worked ok (nothing wrong with the network connection).
