Public bug reported:
I got this while trying to setup a dual boot with windows 8 and ubuntu.
I was using the bootrepair utility, and it asked me to install some
packages: sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-efi-amd64-signed
shim-signed linux-signed-generic
The installation failed with these error messages:
<snip>
Setting up grub-efi-amd64 (2.00-19ubuntu2.1) ...
Creating config file /etc/default/grub with new version
source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory
dpkg: error processing grub-efi-amd64 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub-efi-amd64-signed:
grub-efi-amd64-signed depends on grub-efi-amd64 (= 2.00-19ubuntu2.1); however:
Package grub-efi-amd64 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup
error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-efi-amd64
grub-efi-amd64-signed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I will try again, and report back
