[Bug 1650743] [NEW] installation crashed because grub failed to install

[Jonathan Schnabel]

Public bug reported:

I was installing Lubuntu 16.10 from a live USB key on an Intel NUC5i3RYK. The live USB key was generated with UNetbootin.
The installation crashed with the message: The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package faile to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
