** Tags added: apport-collected utopic

** Description changed:

  Upgrading "linux-image-generic" forces removal of "grub-efi-amd64" in
  Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn.  However, replacement of "grub-efi-amd64"
  with "grub-pc" would render the system unbootable, because UEFI boot
  process requires "grub-efi".
  
- Similar bug has apparently existed in earlier Ubuntu versions (e.g.
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532903 and
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/800910 ), but it
- seems to have resurfaced.  Some more information can be found at
