Version: 2.04-20
Followup-For: Bug #913916
X-Debbugs-Cc: gombasg at digikabel.hu
Hi,
I can confirm the bug still exists, running grub-install makes my laptop
(Dell Latitude E7470) unbootable by removing all (well, the only) boot
options, and I have to enter the firmware menu to set up the boot
options again.
It took more than a year to figure out it was due to grub-install,
because the bug usually manifested itself after installing a large
number of packages, and I was lazy to figure out which exactly was the
trigger. But yesterday, the only relevant packages which I have updated
were shim-helpers-amd64-signed and grub-efi-amd64-signed, and only
shim-helpers-amd64-signed had a postinst script, and the only thing that
postinst script did was running grub-install.
Here's the output of "efibootmgr -v", if it helps:
# efibootmgr -v

The "Debian" entry (with capital 'D') is the one I've set up through the
firware menu. The "debian" entry with lower case "d" is I guess the one
which was originally created by Debian Installer, and it is suspiciously
missing from BootOrder.
