Public bug reported:
I tried to install trusty on a MacBook Air 5-2 (mid 2012) using EFI. I've tried
using both pure EFI boot (holding Alt while turning on the device) as well as
rEFIt. No matter which device/partition I select for the bootloader to be
installed to, I'm always getting the message "'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package
failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB bootloader the system will
not load." at the end of the installation and the installer crashes.
I also tried mounting /dev/sda1 to /boot/efi beforehand and pointing GRUB
installation to /dev/sda1 but no luck.
Thus I'm unable to install trusty on this device.
