Bug Description
I'm on the 20.04 early testing group.
I've been using 20.04 for about a month.
Today when doing a normal software update
1 - the update-manager got stuck in an error message (see attached) and then
2 - prompted me saying that "The GRUB bootloader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present..." (see attached)
3 - and when I selected that path because it's the only EFI partition I have and press 'Next'
4 - then a new dialog appears asking if I want to proceed without installing GRUB.
5 - when I untick that box and try to proceed trying to install GRUB it then takes me back to step (2) so I'm currently stuck in a loop.
