[Bug 1848880] Re: installing ubiquity on efi system tries to remove grub-efi-amd64

[Brian Murray]

Hello Ozzy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/18.04.14.13 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  installing ubiquity on efi system tries to remove grub-efi-amd64

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [impact]
  OEM mode on server is broken on UEFI systems.

  [test case]
  Install a UEFI system using the d-i installer in oem mode and check if the oem-config-prepare binary is present after rebooting.

  [regression potential]
  The change is replacing a transitional package in Recommends with the package the transitional package depends upon, so it is extremely hard to think of how this would cause unexpected fallout.

  [original description]
  Selecting the OEM Install option when installing 18.04.3 does not seem to allow for an OEM install. There are no indications of it being an OEM
  install on the installer screen as in previous versions, and after installation the command oem-config-prepare is not found.
