I had the exact same results as Marshall and tried several of the things he did. I had the grub error as expected and my machine also has SSD and was installing from a flash drive. I was installing the 64bit version of Ubuntu.
Thanks to his additional feedback I was able to solve the problem in the same method he did. I was able to duplicate this error sequence twice due to unplanned fresh installs recently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878062 Title: Installer removes packages, but fails to update package database To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/878062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
