This is suspected to be caused by a missing Ubuntu boot entry. * fwupdate adds an entry for doing the update to the BootOrder, but doesn't remove it. BIOS auto-creation for making boot entries typically depends on the BootOrder being empty. * This affects all releases of fwupdate since the code to add to BootOrder was also backported into the Ubuntu 16.04 release of fwupdate (0.5-2ubuntu5) [Test Case] * Perform a UEFI BIOS update after installing this package. * Ensure the system boots and there is no longer a "Linux Firmware Updater" entry present in the efibootmgr -v output. [Regression Potential] * Regressions are possible to manifest if any BIOS depends on the previous behavior. * The fixes that were backported have been upstream for a few months and no concerns have been raised upstream from them. [Other Info] Two users have reported that fwupd breaks their Ubuntu installation because the "Ubuntu" EFI boot option disappears after an update.
