apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected jammy ubiquity-22.04.19

** Description changed:

  I booted the ubuntu-mate-22.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso image on a non-UEFI
  laptop.
  
  After the partitioning phase, I got an error message of a missing EFI
  system partition.
  
  This error message is erronous, since the laptop boots only in BIOS
  mode.
  
  Grub is still installed correctly to MBR.
