[Bug 1657662] [NEW] Error reported after grub installation failure dialog

[jhansonxi]

Public bug reported:

Complicated md/lvm/dm-crypt setup.  Grub failed to install due to lack
of bios_grub FAT32 partition.  Space was reserved but didn't know it was
required for non-EFI system using GPT drive label.  Used gparted to
format and set required flag on partition then chrooted into /target and
grub-install to fix it.  Returned to grub failure dialog.  OK disabled
for everything until a different partition selected.  Then chose to
continue without bootloader since I had manually installed it from
chroot.  Error dialog displayed and apport submitted it.
