Bionic: server install from ubuntu-18.04.5-live-server-amd64.iso. Security updates applied by subiquity, including grub-efi-amd64 2.04-1ubuntu44. /etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/zz-update-grub are not present (to my surprise - then I worked out this was because grub wasn't installed in the source squashfs, so this was a new install of the package from -security rather than an upgrade).
grub-pc is not installed. Enabled -proposed in sources.list. sudo apt install grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed /etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/zz-update-grub now exist as expected sudo apt dist-upgrade to install 4.15.0-144-generic kernel from bionic- proposed (along with other random bits) Inspecting /boot/grub/grub.cfg shows references to -144-. Rebooting, and uname shows -144- is booted. Disabled -proposed again. sudo do-release-upgrade to focal, to my surprise, does not fail with conffile conflicts when -proposed is disabled. However, it does fail to upgrade grub-efi-amd64* due to focal-updates having an earlier version than bionic-proposed. $ dpkg -S /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub grub2-common: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub $ I do not understand what's happening here with the silent takeover of the conffiles without an explicit Replaces allowing this; this is not how I understood dpkg to behave. I think this is verification-done for bionic and verification-failed for grub2 in focal (which should be withdrawn). I do not understand what's happening with the conffile being ** Tags removed: verification-needed-bionic ** Tags added: verification-done-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928674 Title: grub-efi-amd64 from grub2-unsigned has lost kernel/postinst.d script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1928674/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
