[Bug 1772374] Re: ubiquity need mount point /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

[Adam Conrad]

Hello Chen-Han, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/18.04.14.12 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.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
