[Bug 1058152] Re: Couldn't install grub into /target on Macbook Air

[Brian Murray]

This is probably a duplicate of bug 1055326 which was fixed:

ubiquity (2.12.6) quantal; urgency=low

  * Make the accessibility indicator menu items translatable (LP: #1040438).
    Note that this just adds the necessary infrastructure; we still need
    actual translations for this to be useful.
  * Drop dependency on realpath, not needed since hw-detect 1.89 (ubiquity
    2.11.14).
  * Bind-mount /run while installing packages in the target chroot, so that
    name resolution works (LP: #1055326).
  * Update translations from Launchpad (LP: #1056029).
  * Upgrade to Automake 1.11.6.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
    1.91ubuntu5, flash-kernel 3.0~rc.4ubuntu26.

Could you try testing again with a daily build?  Thanks in advance.
