[Bug 1767894] [NEW] grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to install into '/'

[Jane C Poche]

Public bug reported:

 Installing Ubuntu Mate 18.04
    Got this error Hours ago when installing with ext4  for '/' and '/home'

Installation was aborted.


  Q&A had bug about ext4 - with this problem. SO, tried again with ext2 file systems.
... get Same error...
Spent  an hour or two looking through problems and solutions - and did not see
a focused solution to the problem.

I have installed 16.04 on newer PCs with UEFI without any problem.

Help!

Thanks in advance, Jane and Jay.
