I'm trying to install grub-legacy package on Ubuntu virtual box but I keep getting this error:

Package grub-legacy is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
grub-coreboot grub2-common grub-pc grub-ieee1275 grub-efi-ia32
grub-efi-amd64

E: Package 'grub-legacy' has no installation candidate

Why I got this error? If I replace it with one of the following packages for example grub-pc, is that going to make any difference ?

GRUB Legacy is in maintenance mode and new features are only accepted in GRUB 2 (grub-pc package). To install grub-pc open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install grub-pc

This package contains a version of GRUB that has been built for use with traditional PC/BIOS architecture.
