Title: grub-efi-amd64: grub-efi/install_devices depends on the value of LC_COLLATE/LANG Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, As discussed with Julian Andres Klode on IRC, there are cases where the value of grub-efi/install_devices is affected by the value of LC_COLLATE. This is caused by this unique sort: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu/tree/debian/grub-multi- install?h=debian/2.06-2ubuntu7#n220 # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Release: 22.04 From what I see, this can only happen on systems with NVMe drives: # find -L /dev/disk/by-id/ -samefile /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.e8238fa6bf530001001b44455555555-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-WDC_CL_SN720_SDAQNTW-512G-2000_xxxx-part1 Let's assume grub-efi/install_devices has the following value: # debconf-show grub-efi-amd64 | grep grub-efi/install_devices: * grub-efi/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-WDC_CL_SN720_SDAQNTW-512G-2000_xxxx-part1, /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-WDC_CL_SN720_SDAQNTW-512G-2000_yyyy-part1 This was obtained with this LANG/LC_COLLATE: # echo $LANG C.UTF-8 # dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 │ GRUB EFI system partitions: │ │ │ │ [*] /dev/nvme1n1p1 (535 MB; /boot/efi) on 512110 MB WDC CL SN720 SDAQNTW-512G-2000 │ │ [*] /dev/nvme0n1p1 (535 MB; ) on 512110 MB WDC CL SN720 SDAQNTW-512G-2000 │ # debconf-show grub-efi-amd64 | grep grub-efi/install_devices: * grub-efi/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-WDC_CL_SN720_SDAQNTW-512G-2000_xxxx-part1, /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-WDC_CL_SN720_SDAQNTW-512G-2000_yyyy-part1 We can see that the boxes are properly ticked here. However: # export LANG=en_US.UTF-8; dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 │ GRUB EFI system partitions: │ │ │ │ [ ] /dev/nvme1n1p1 (535 MB; /boot/efi) on 512110 MB WDC CL SN720 SDAQNTW-512G-2000 │ │ [ ] /dev/nvme0n1p1 (535 MB; ) on 512110 MB WDC CL SN720 SDAQNTW-512G-2000 │ The boxes are not ticked, if I tick them, I get the following: # debconf-show grub-efi-amd64 | grep grub-efi/install_devices: * grub-efi/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.e8238fa6bf530001001b44455555555-part1, /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.e8238fa6bf530001001b44666666-part1 I assume the postinst script for grub-pc exhibits the same bug with the value of grub-pc/install_devices.
