[Bug 1265030] [NEW] Grub boot loader install fails while instaling Ubuntu 13.10 alongside Mavericks (using rEFInd)

[Riccardo]

Public bug reported:

This is the fourth time I've tried installing Ubuntu 13.10 along-side
Mavericks (Mac OS X).

I installed rEFInd boot manager in Mavericks, then loeaded Ubuntu 13.10
from a USB stickand tried installing.

This is the error message:

The grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/.
Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

Trying to install rEFInd boot manager from Ubuntu, as suggested by
Roderick W. Smith..

Any help is more than welcome.

Thank you
