[Bug 2036199] Re: ubiquity install fails grub write error: can't remove grub-efi-amd64 which should not have been installed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 23.10.4

---------------
ubiquity (23.10.4) mantic; urgency=medium

  * Depend: on grub-pc.  Currently, ubiquity depends on shim-signed, but
    only Recommends: grub-pc with alternatives; for seed generation this
    means sometimes shim-signed -> grub-efi-amd64-signed -> grub-efi-amd64
    is picked, which we never want.  LP: #2036199.
