[Bug 1936857] Re: grub-install: error: efibootmgr: not found.

[Steve Langasek]

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted grub2 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.02-2ubuntu8.26
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.

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  grub-install from 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.32 on xenial/arm64 fails with:

  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install
  Installing for arm64-efi platform.
  grub-install: error: efibootmgr: not found.

  [Test plan]
  Make sure that it works, and we can't uninstall efibootmgr

  [Where problems could occur]
  Systems that removed grub-efi-amd64-bin (you know, non-EFI systems might do that) get efibootmgr installed unneccessarily.

  However I believe this significantly reduces the risk of this breaking
  again in a future grub2-unsigned update and permits sharing the
  grub2-unsigned binaries across releases which is what we want.
