Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Shipping fwupdate in 15.04 (hardware enablement tool; a firmware updater tool)
requires the use of efivar > 0.16; which in turn requires a slightly newer
version of efibootmgr (at least 0.12-2).
[Test Case]
- Install libefivar0.
Installing libefivar0 will attempt to remove efibootmgr, which is quite
unhelpful when one has to deal with EFI boot entries. Furthermore,
efibootmgr is a Dependency of grub EFI images, of which the removal
would likely be catastrophic to booting the system.
[Regression Potential]
Issues in efibootmgr would show up as the inability to configure new (or modify
old) EFI boot entries; for example inability to install a boot image on some
specific disks.
efibootmgr is critical to the proper function of grub updates for EFI
systems.
** Affects: efibootmgr (Ubuntu)
