Public bug reported:
I had to remove a NVMe storage (nvme0n1) from my laptop and temporarily
brought it back as a VirtIO (vda) device under a VM. When I received
shim-signed upgrade to version 1.51+15.4-0ubuntu9 , I got this :
Setting up shim-signed (1.51+15.4-0ubuntu9) ...
mount: /var/lib/grub/esp: special device
/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.001b448b4993ceb4-part1 does not exist.
dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure):
installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 32
Errors were encountered while processing:
shim-signed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Looking into /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst , I see that it
calls /usr/lib/grub/grub-multi-install which in turn gets this device
name from debconf DB, which it then fails to find among VM devices.
Looking into /var/cache/debconf/config.dat , I see it recorded under Name:
grub-efi/install_devices , also its nvme0n1p1 partition recorded under Name:
grub-efi/partition_description .
I am not sure whether it is safe to remove or modify these values by text
editor, but running grub-install or dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 as root
does not change them .
Please help me to resolve this situation.
