Bug Description
The apport package hook for ubiquity, which is shipped by apport since ubiquity is not installed on most systems, includes the following code:
if not 'grub-installer: Installation finished. No error reported' in syslog and 'grub-installer:' in syslog:
...
if collect_grub:
The problem is that the installation finished message is translated and if the ubiquity syslog is translated then the source package will be changed to grub-installer. A better choice would be to use a string from grub-installer which is untranslated:
$ grep -r 'grub-install ran successfully' *
grub-installer: info "grub-install ran successfully"
