Comments/Problems: Installation of GRUB failed
The problem is that the installer tries to install GRUB with /sbin/grub-install, although grub-install is located on /usr/sbin. A symbolic link did help to circumvent the problem for the time being.

This is a known issue in the grub package that will be corrected within a 
few days. Therefore closing your report. Thanks for submitting it though.
