[Bug 1311543] [NEW] package grub-pc 2.02~beta2-9 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Rui Andrada]

Public bug reported:

In the end of installation grub can't install the package and into boot sector.
Grub shows me this message:

grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `none'

I'll trying to fix my installation alone before reboot, but I think it's
good try to report this bug before.
