Title:
  Linux Mint installer crashed when trying to install grub-pc

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Linux Mint USB installer crashes upon trying to install GRUB. The
  logs suggest that dpkg is trying to remove grub-pc but that this is
  failing. I'm not sure why it is trying to remove grub-pc since grub is
  not installed and there seems to be no reason why grub-pc should be
  removed.

  1) Linux Mint 11 Katya
  2) ubiquity 2.6.10-1mint2
      grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3-1mint1
  3) Expected the application to install grub 2 (grub-pc)
  4) The application crashed and stopped upon trying to install grub-pc
