Title:
  Selecting grub entries (efi) at boot time leads to "error: symbol
  'grub_efi_find_last_device_path' not found"

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. Situation

  1.1 I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on an OEM "Windows 8.1" laptop more than a year ago
  1.2 Ubuntu installed grub to manage OS selection
  1.2 The last automatic software update of Ubuntu (09.01.2016) updated grub (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7) 
  1.3 Since then selecting grub menu items to start windows produces the following error message

      "symbol 'grub_efi_find_last_device_path' not found"

  1.4 Reverting back to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.6 solves this issue
  1.5 Retrying to upgrade from 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.6  to 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7 reintrocudes the issue  

  
  2. References 

  2.1 Output of

          dpkg --list | grep grub

  is

  ii  grub-common            2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7   amd64   GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
  ii  grub-efi                        2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7   amd64   GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package)
  ii  grub-efi-amd64         2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7   amd64   GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 version)
  ii  grub-efi-amd64-bin  2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7   amd64   GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 binaries)

  grub2-common_2.02-beta2-9ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb
  grub-common_2.02-beta2-9ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb
  grub-efi-amd64_2.02-beta2-9ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb
  grub-efi-amd64-bin_2.02-beta2-9ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb

  2. From that folder install the deb files with the following command:

  sudo dpkg -i *.deb
