[Bug 2004208] Re: arm64 package has hardcoded x64 references

[Julian Andres Klode]

** Description changed:

- I couldn't figure out why the alternative wasn't being updated to the
- new shim after I installed a kernel installed w/ a 2022 key. Turns out
- its because we hardcode shim*x64* in the kernel hook:

  I couldn't figure out why the alternative wasn't being updated to the new shim after I installed a kernel installed w/ a 2022 key. Turns out its because we hardcode shim*x64* in the kernel hook:

  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ grep x64 /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-shim
  if update-alternatives --query shimx64.efi.signed | grep "Best: /usr/lib/shim/shimx64.efi.signed.previous" -q; then

  There also seems to be a number of residual x64 references in the postinst:

  [Test plan]
  Install a kernel signed with 2022 key on arm64, make sure that shimaa64.efi.signed alternative points to latest

  [Where problems could occur]
  Added/changed code could potentially break stuff on amd64.
