Public bug reported: I am having a macbook with ubuntu 12.04. Just did sudo-apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; This installs an updated version of the package shim-signed.
However, upon updating shim-signed, grub complains that it cannot recognize the option `--target=x86_64-efi'. Seems very related to a recent update on shim-signed that has been pushed recently, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1242417. Below the resulting error message: sudo apt-get update; Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed.
