[Bug 2129164] Re: nullboot 0.5.3-0ubuntu-0.24.04.1 does not install

[Benjamin Smith]

It seems this bug also affects 0.5.0-0ubuntu3 when I reinstall that.

I think I'm not being affected by this on the initial install because
the `[ -e "/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/" ]` check in the postinst isn't
triggering as grub hasn't been installed at that point.

There does seem to be a bug if nullbootctl requires /usr/lib/linux/efi
to exist but this directory is not created by anything.

Title:
  nullboot 0.5.3-0ubuntu-0.24.04.1 does not install

Status in nullboot package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When updating to the nullboot in noble-updates, I get the following
  error:

  Setting up nullboot (0.5.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1) ...
  2025/10/21 09:21:39 cannot add new assets from /usr/lib/linux/efi : open /usr/lib/linux/efi: no such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing package nullboot (--configure):
   installed nullboot package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   nullboot

  The previously installed version of nullboot was 0.5.0-0ubuntu3.

  When using apt-file to search for packages that contain
  /usr/lib/linux/efi I can only find kernels suffixed with -azure-fde.
  I am not in an azure environment and I am using -generic kernels.
