Package: efibootmgr
Version: 0.12-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Until about 1 month ago, efibootmgr was able to modify and delete boot menu
items. I do not know exactly when it started failing, but I just noticed it
today.
Running Debian Testing. Tested with kernel 3.16 from testing as well as kernel
4.0 from unstable.
$ sudo efibootmgr -b 0016 -B
efibootmgr: Boot entry 0016 not found
efibootmgr: Could not delete boot variable: Success
$ echo $?
15
The expected result is that boot entry 0016 is deleted.
