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

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted grub2-signed into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2-signed/1.167~18.04.0 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, what testing has been
performed on the package 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.

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.
