Title:
  install fails: can't find grub-xpats

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Install from the DVD of ubuntu 12.04

  Have 4 HDDs in a fairly vanilla desktop machine that worked perfectly
  fine with Lucid Lynx.

  /dev/sda -- root, /var, /usr, swap, /home
  /dev/sdb,c,d: a 2-TB Raid array.  This was not configured at install time.

  Install went fine.  I'm not happy that it downloaded from the
  "nearest" mirror however and I didn't have a chance to say otherwise
  (except perhaps to pull the plug on the internet connection).  My
  issue here is that I live in China and don't trust the servers here.

  In any case, after all the software was installed andupdated, the DVD
  medium was ejected and the machine rebooted.  It got to the grub
  loader and then had the fatal error that grub-xpats could not be
  found.

  I am now reinstalling the system using the "alternate" CD so I can't
  reproduce or provide more details on error message.  Sorry!
