Hello Tom, you saw unreproducible results with multiple runs failing and one run succeeding. The reason is that when signing with sign-efi-sig-list in out Python tests without passing a timestamp two signatures may be in the same second or not. When using the signed files to set UEFI variables a variable can only be overwritten by a file with a newer timestamp. But without setting timestamps explicitly using parameter -t passed to sign-efi-sig-list we have no control. I already fixed this for some elder tests but missed to fix this for the merged patches from Takahiro. Best regards Heinrich
