Public bug reported:

I attempted to install Ubuntu 17.04 server. The install stopped because 
grub-install (i.e. grub-install /dev/sda) failed. Something like this:
   Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda
   Executing `grub-install /dev/sda` failed.
   This is a fatal error.

However, no error details were shown. This made debugging very
difficult.

Only when I ran grub-install from the shell prompt, I was able to see why:
grub-install: warning: Attempting to install GRUB to a disk with multiple 
partition labels.  This is not supported yet..
grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID 
and LVM install.

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- No error details show when grub-install fails
+ No error details shown when grub-install fails
