Yes, this dropped from my radar completely. The dependency chain change
required us to make installer-related changes (in both grub-installer
and ubiquity) that made sure the right packages aren't purged from the
system. But what I did miss is adding the new deps to the grub2-signed
package in case someone would be pulling in the new grub packages from
the archive during installation.
So actually the bug here is that *old* images are failing to install on
UEFI systems when automatic download of updates is switched on. This is
why it was not noticed - I only tested the changes on both the dailies
for bionic and cosmic.
** Summary changed:
- Installation failure on UEFI systems with SecureBoot disabled
+ Installation failure on UEFI systems using older images with automatic
download of updates enabled
** Changed in: grub2-signed (Ubuntu Bionic)
Status: Triaged => In Progress
** Changed in: grub2-signed (Ubuntu Cosmic)
Status: Triaged => In Progress
