Bug#1130597: systemd-boot-efi 260~rc3 fails to boot via UEFI (hangs), 260~rc2 works

[Bogdan Vasiliev]

Package: systemd-boot-efi
Version: 260~rc3-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bogdan.vasiliev at gmail.com

After upgrading systemd-boot-efi from 260~rc2 to 260~rc3-1 the system
stopped booting via UEFI. The bootloader shows no error message and the
system hangs during early boot.

Restoring the previous systemd-boot binary from a filesystem snapshot
immediately fixes the problem:

cp /.snapshots/675/snapshot/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi

After restoring the 260~rc2 version the system boots normally again.
