package grub-pc 2.02~beta2-9 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Rui Andrada]

In the end of installation grub can't install the package and into boot sector.
Grub shows me this message:

grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `none'

I'll trying to fix my installation alone before reboot, but I think it's good try to report this bug before.

I think I do something wrong.
I've tried to use the "sandbox mode" of do-release-upgrade witch shows me error, but seems the "sandbox mode" still active and grub can't install into boot sector.
I do reboot and try to install again and everything works now.

So, we've changed a bug from New to Invalid without any comments as to why. That's why people run screaming from Ubuntu...

[Rui Andrada (shingonoide)]

Sorry, I don't understand.
I guess the bug was invalid because was my fault not a bug in grub2.
I guess was helping, sorry.
