Title:
  grub-installer fails to remove grub-pc when installing on EFI systems

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub-installer” source package in Natty:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  ubiquity tried to unpack nvidia-current, couldn't find it, fetched it,
  started unpacking, and immediately after that crashed.  It then
  reverted to the live cd environment.  It did not succeed in installing
  grub alongside the windows 7 loader, so what system is installed is
  unusable.

  Separate note: this bug reporting method does not allow for multiple
  attachments and the partman log is too long to fit in this field.

  EDIT: 4/19/2011 @ 8:31PM CT
  I neglected to mention that this is an install to a 120gb ADATA SSD on an Asus P8H67-I, i5-2500k, 8gb ram, Geforce 560ti from a usb thumb drive.  I don't know if any of the hardware is relevant beyond the thumb drive and the SSD however, but thought it pertinent to list if any applied.
