Package: efibootmgr
Version: 0.5.4-7
X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
Tags: patch
Severity: important
In reference to Ubuntu bug #1272664
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272664), efibootmgr adds 6 bytes of
padding to the boot entry. This breaks at lest Hyper-V, possible other
systems as well. Comparing the Debian sources with
https://github.com/vathpela/efibootmgr/blob/master/src/include/efi.h,
shows that the padding is apparently only needed on IA64 architecture.
The attached patch applies this limitation to the Debian source tree.
I ask the maintainer to apply the attached patch and release a new
version. Thanks.

So a new upstream release should include this patch as well.

Correct. However, you stated an issue with Hyper-V, which I can't test,
so I was wanting to know if you can test to make sure that the issue is
resolved for you.
Based on your statement, I'll mark this bug as done. Please reopen it if
you continue to have issues.
