Public bug reported:
I'm installing Ubuntu 16.04 onto an external HDD. My computer also has
an internal Windows 10 HDD.
When at the partitioning stage, it selected for the boot loader to be
installed onto the external HDD.
When Uniquity is installing the system, it mounts Windows 10's ESP and
copies the Ubuntu/grub boot loaders over, when it should have mounted
the ESP created on the external HDD. I attached a screenshot of lsblk to
show what's happening. /dev/sda2 is the Win10 ESP and it's mounted to
/target/boot/efi. /dev/sdb1 is the correct ESP but is not touched.
Because the boot information is not on the external HDD, the Windows 10
disk must be present to boot Ubuntu because the boot information
pointing to Ubuntu is located on the Windows ESP.
Ubiquity is version 2.21.63.
I also attached the Ubiquity debug file, partman, and syslog. Sorry for
putting them in a zip, can't attach more than 1 file.
