Package: libdebian-installer
Version: 0.102
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,
EFI detection in libd-i can in some cases pass while efibootmgr will fail to
set BootEntry due to efivar's checks actually looking for efivars or vars
instead of just the existence of /sys/firmware/efi.
In Ubuntu; I'm applying the following patch to libdebian-installer's detection
code:
* src/system/efi.c: validate the presence of efivars *or* vars under
/sys/firmware/efi to decide whether we should show the system as running
in EFI mode; either of these paths is required for efibootmgr to set a
BootEntry at the end of installation.
Admittedly, this can still fail if for some reason efivars or vars are present
but empty, but this isn't any different than for /sys/firmware/efi itself.
/sys/firmware/efi/vars should mostly always be around, as it appears to come
straight from the kernel; /sys/firmware/efi/efivars is typically to be mounted
by the init system (this happens at least in systemd src/core/mount-setup.c).
In Ubuntu this is bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdebian-installer/+bug/1582320
Thanks for considering the patch.
