[Bug 1921134] Re: SBAT shim 15.4 release

I tried installing the new shim package on a second system that also had
Oracle Virtualbox 6.1 installed and didn't encounter the same issue on
this system.

I then tried upgrading the first system again after first uninstalling
Virtualbox. This time there were no issues after the upgrade. I then
reinstalled Oracle Virtualbox 6.1 on this system that prompted the
installation of a new MOK. After registering the new key on a reboot
everything is working fine now. I'm guessing there was some MOK issue
specific to the system that was causing the issue, which was solved by a
reinstallation of Virtualbox.
