Package: memtest86+
Version: 8.00-1
Severity: normal
# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up memtest86+ (8.00-1) ...
cp: cannot stat '/boot/memtest86+x64.efi': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package memtest86+ (--configure):
installed memtest86+ package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
memtest86+
I get the above errors when trying to configure it.
if [ -e /boot/efi/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi ] ; then
mkdir -p /boot/efi/loader/entries
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/memtest86+/
echo "title Memtest86+
efi /EFI/memtest86+/memtest86+x64.efi" >/boot/efi/loader/entries/memtest.conf
cp /boot/memtest86+x64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/memtest86+/memtest86+x64.efi
fi
The above is the relevant section of the postinst, so when
/boot/efi/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi exists (IE the system is configure
to boot with systemd-boot) it will try to copy /boot/memtest86+x64.efi which
doesn't exist, it's now in /usr/lib/memtest86+/memtest86+x64.iso .
So it looks like the postinst needs to extract the file from the iso.
