Hi Serge and thanks for this bug report. It is not surprising that the version in Focal doesn't fix the issue, as the version of the package in Eoan and Focal is the same:
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190109.133f4c4-0ubuntu2 | eoan ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190109.133f4c4-0ubuntu3 | focal ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5ubuntu1 | groovy As you can see Groovy has a slightly newer version, and it would be interesting to see if that one fixes the problem. You can download the .deb from [1] and install it manually with `dpkg -i <pkg.deb>`. The package shouldn't require additional deps from Groovy. (This is of course not a best practice thing and intended only for this quick and dirty test!) If the package from Groovy works we'll have to identify which change actually fixes the issue. Once the scope of the change is known we'll be able to evaluate the possibility of backporting it to Focal. I had a quick look at the upstream commit history but wasn't able to identify a candidate commit. If the package from Groovy is still buggy then I think the next steps are: 1. Compile the upstream source from git at 36a4c85 to make sure the problem is with the upstream source and not e.g. with the Ubuntu packaging. 2. If it's a confirmed upstream bug, bisect the source to find which commit(s) fix it. 3. Apply the commits on top of 133f4c4 and verify that the fix works. 4. Consider a SRU. This process can break in several ways, we'll find out! I'm setting the status of this report to Incomplete for the moment, please set it back to New after commenting back and we'll look at it again. Thanks!
