Subject: Failed to install Xenial in UEFI mode, failed with "grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to install into /target/"

Package: grub-installer
Version: 2.02~beta2-32ubuntu1

When I try to install the Ubuntu Xenial desktop dailylive image from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
I can't finish the installation in UEFI mode. It will fail with the
following error message:

The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/.
Without GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

And there is only an "OK" button on the dialog, after pressing it, it
will report that the installer has crashed, and direct me to the bug
report page.

This issue does not exist in Legacy BIOS mode.

The package is a Ubuntu version, and does not even exist in Debian.
The -signed package is probably secureboot related, which as far as I
know Debian has no support for at this time.

And of course in BIOS mode secureboot does not apply and non efi grub
is used, so it is very very different.

So the bug report to Ubuntu makes sense, while the one to Debian does
not since there is no such package.

There is nothing to add to Lennart's reply, which didn't go to the list.
Closing the bug report, as there's nothing that affects Debian at this
point.

Kind regards and thanks
