  grub-install fails on manual partitioning without ESP when trying to
  configure grub-efi

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hello

  This error appear when I tried to install Ubuntu 20.10. I choose a manual configuration for partition selection and /dev/sda to install grub (as I usually do). But this time it seems it doesn't work...
  I've been warned that no EFI partition were found and that it could prevent the boot of my computer but I decided to ignore it. That's probably where the bug is...

  I submit the incident just in case you can find any clue of what's
  happening. I will try to add an EFI partition and see where am I.

  Thank you for reading this.
