Package: gummiboot
Version: 44-1
Severity: important

gummiboot fails to install if there is a preexisting EFI boot loader in
the fallback location (e.g. after a successful installation of Windows):

pkern@simplex ~ % sudo gummiboot install --path=/boot/efi
Created /boot/efi/EFI/gummiboot.
Copied /usr/lib/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi to 
/boot/efi/EFI/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi.
Failed to rename /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/BOOTX64.EFI~ to 
/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/BOOTX64.EFI: File exists

(Same for update, which is called from the postinst.)

pkern@simplex ~ % find /boot/efi/EFI/Boot
/boot/efi/EFI/Boot
/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi

The failure of »gummiboot update« is ignored in the postinst and hence
ignores other failure cases upon installation as well.
