Bug#856416: grub-efi-amd64: Updating grub-efi-amd64:amd64 to 2.02~beta3-5 is aborted with half-installed package and reboot

Hi Reiner!

This looks more like a local configuration issue at first sight rather than
a bug in the grub2 package. Did you try to reproduce this issue on a freshly
installed system?

I'm also not sure I understand how the configure process was interrupted? Did it
just abort on its own or did you hit "Ctrl+C" or did your machine crash?

I'm tagging this "moreinfo" because it's currently not obvious how and when
the configure process for grub2 was interrupted.

Thanks,
Adrian
