Bug Description

I runned kubuntu 6.10 desktop
After that I did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" with no errors
During installation. Almost when it was finished I got this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 166, in ?

grub should already be installed, though, so I wonder why apt isn't just a no-op. Maybe our apt-install shim needs to be a bit more conservative by first checking whether the requested package is already installed.

ubiquity (1.3.4) feisty; urgency=low

  * apt-install only attempts to install packages not already installed,
    making it more robust when packages on the target filesystem are broken
    (LP: #74241).
  * KDE frontend: Don't infinite-loop on EOF from qtparted (LP: #67565).
  * Make sure localechooser doesn't clobber the selected country if it
    differs from the default (LP: #68026).
  * Add a check-manifest tool to ensure that d-i/manifest is in sync with
    d-i/source/ on upload.
  * Upgrade to automake 1.10.
  * Configure and build the desktop, pixmaps, and po subdirectories even if
    UBIQUITY_NO_GTK is set.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.16ubuntu2,
    base-installer 1.70ubuntu1, localechooser 1.33ubuntu1, partman-auto
    62ubuntu2, partman-base 100ubuntu1.
