[Bug 1920008] Re: grub2-signed depends on grub2-common

[Eugenio Perea]

Hi. I got here through the bug link on Software Updater. I apologize if this is not the place to report this. I'm facing an unmet dependencies problem:
--
grub-efi-amd64-signed: Depends: grub2-common (>= 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.31) but 2.04-1ubuntu35.6 is to be installed
--
It says equal or greater than 2.02, and the proposed package is 2.04, so it should be accepted, but it's not. Any ideas on how to proceed?

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * one-grub has loosed the dependencies between src:grub2-signed and
  src:grub2, specifically grub2-common. However the modules in grub
  modules built by src:grbu2-unsigned require a high enough version of
  grub2-common with support for R_X86_64_PLT32 relocations. Generate
  depends that are high enough, for older releases.

  Otherwise users that have grub-efi-amd64-signed installed may get
  errors upon trying to configure the package from `grub-install` unable
  to handle unknown relocation.

  [Test Plan]

   * Disable -proposed

   * Install grub-efi-amd64-signed

   * Enable -proposed

   * Install grub-efi-amd64-signed (again)

   * Observe that not only grub-efi-amd64-signed is upgraded, but also
  that new version of grub2-common are upgraded too, on bionic and
  earlier series.

  
  [Where problems could occur]

   * As one-grub evolves, similar dep updates may be required in the
  future again. Thus every one-grub update should be tested across all
  releases prior to upload into -proposed.
