During the installation of Ubuntu 25.04 on a UEFI system, the installer correctly installs the grub-efi-amd64 package. However, the residual configuration files for the grub-pc package are left on the system.
If the user runs the command:
sudo apt remove grub-pc --purge
after installation, this results in the removal of the GRUB bootloader, leading to a non-bootable system.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
Install Ubuntu 25.04 on a UEFI system.
Complete the installation and boot into the system.
Run dpkg -l | grep grub and observe that both grub-pc (residual config) and grub-efi-amd64 are listed.
Run sudo apt remove grub-pc --purge.
Reboot the system - the bootloader is missing, and the system fails to boot.
**Expected Behavior:**
The installer should completely remove grub-pc and its configuration during installation on UEFI systems.
Alternatively, purging grub-pc post-install should not interfere with the functioning of grub-efi-amd64.
**Actual Behavior:**
Residual grub-pc configuration remains.
Purging it removes or interferes with the EFI GRUB setup.
System becomes unbootable after reboot.
