Title:
  update-grub never runs because ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError
  in configure_bootloader()

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I'm filing this bug report because this is occurring in today's daily
  snapshot (2009-08-27).

  This failure causes update-grub to be missed, resulting in a bricked
  machine.

  There is no /var/log/installer directory. Neither faillog or dpkg.log
  show any useful data.

  I've setup to install from USB now, so I can test .iso files every
  day.

  If there's a packaging patch someone desires me to try, then do a
  reinstall, I can.

  I'll leave this machine as an iso test machine till the problem is
  resolved.
