Comment 0 for bug 2106764

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.
