[Bug 1608172] Re: package shim-signed 1.18~16.04.1+0.8-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Steve Langasek]

Analysis of the attached logs shows:
 - this was an initial install of Ubuntu, using the 16.04.1 installation media.
 - your system uses UEFI, so it is correct that the installer tries to install grub-efi-amd64-signed and shim-signed.
 - the EFI bootloader entries in nvram have been updated successfully to point to shimx64.efi (if the grub-install call from shim-signed had failed, the system would have been left with an "Ubuntu" entry pointing at grubx64.efi instead, since grub-efi-amd64-signed is installed in a different run of apt-get).

If the grub-install call in shim-signed.postinst has succeeded, the only
other thing that this script calls that could fail is update-secureboot-
policy.  Unfortunately, the logs attached to this bug report don't show
the actual output from the shim-signed postinst, which makes it
impossible to diagnose this failure further.  Do you have anything in
/var/log/apt/term.log now that mentions shim-signed?
