Bug Description

Ubuntu 22.04 attempting to install Grub to EFI partion fails to make a bootable drive. OS files are installed.
Boot Repair iso was booted from a USB and running it fails with the results:
"Please retry from a live disc containing a recent version of zfsutils"
Running Synaptic from the Boot Repair iso shows that zfsutils is installed.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

The image downloaded from the official Sourceforge repository is built on Ubuntu bionic. The weird thing is that if I open a terminal and use "zpool import zdata", all data is present and accessible, and ZFS is not even involved in the boot process, so it's not clear what causes the issue.

Maybe basing the ISO image on Ubuntu jammy would improve things. A bit more information on what is lacking from the zfsutils in the bionic image would probably also help.
