Fwd: Fwd: Ubuntu 18.04: apt hangs during build of FWTS driver, Secure Boot enabled

[Paul English]

Thanks Blibbet for asking as a proxy, but it I'll save some relaying by getting on this list myself.

I'm on 4.15.0-23-generic, so it does seem like attempting to build dkms when it is not expected to work is a likely issue. `ps` below seems to confirm.

Probably just my ignorance here - but I'm not sure how to get the 18.05.01 version off https://launchpad.net/~firmware-testing-team/+archive/ubuntu/scratch as it doesn't seem to be listed. I tried:
$ sudo apt-get install fwts=18.05.01-0ubuntu1~b -V
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '18.05.01-0ubuntu1~b' for 'fwts' was not found

and I also tried just fwts=18.05.01  Perhaps because it was reverted?

I can confirm that the latest version from the testing repo 18.06.03-0ubuntu1~b exhibits the same behavior.

A bit more potentially useful info from ps, during the hang:

At least this time I figured out that I can kill it with -9 :-) SIGINT does not work

This may be related to efi_runtime driver in fwts, ex. reported as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwts/+bug/1769059

I built a possible (but reverted later reverted) package in comment #7, and
it works with Secure Boot enabled. Will you be able to try it while we are
investigating another possible solution?

Cheers,
