[Bug 1928858] [NEW] grub-install error: "efibootmgr: not found"
Public bug reported: > 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release:18.04 > 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center grub2-common version: 2.02-2ubuntu8.23 grub-efi-amd64-bin: 2.04-1ubuntu44 > 3) What you expected to happen `grub-install --force "dummy"` to run correctly when installing into UEFI > 4) What happened instead `grub-install --force "dummy"` failed and output the error `grub-install error: "efibootmgr: not found"` I create a custom ubuntu bionic installation cd, which uses the old debian-installer grub-installer component to install grub onto the target system. This grub-installer component runs the following command: `grub-install --force "dummy"` Recently when installing this custom ubuntu installation cd on a system using UEFI, debian-installer would fail with an error message stating "Unable to install GRUB in dummy: Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed. This is a fatal error." After some digging, I discovered the root of the issue. From the /var/log/syslog of the installation, I could see that the fatal error that occurred during the `grub-install` command was "grub-install: error: efibootmgr: not found". Digging a bit more, I discovered that on previous systems, the efibootmgr command was installed via the efibootmgr package, which was a dependency of grub-efi-amd64-bin. However, in the most recent version of grub-efi-amd64-bin, efibootmgr had been moved from "Depends" to "Recommends", and as such was not included on my custom ubuntu bionic installation cd. Thus, when grub- install tried to run the efibootmgr command, it was not available. This is the most recent bionic version of grub-efi-amd64-bin that I've personally had installed that directly depended on efibootmgr: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/grub-efi- amd64-bin/2.02-2ubuntu8.21 ...and this is the most recent bionic version of grub-efi-amd64-bin at the time of writing this bug report: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/grub-efi- amd64-bin/2.04-1ubuntu44 I noticed that the upstream version of the package changed from 2.02 to 2.04 between these two versions; I suspect that is partially the cause of this "Depends" being moved to "Recommends". I suspect that the solution here would be one of: - Update grub-efi-amd64-bin to re-add efibootmgr as "Depends" - Add efibootmgr as "Depends" for grub2-common, since grub2-common is the package that provides the grub-install command that ultimately needs the efibootmgr command to be in place. - Update grub-install to no longer depend on efibootmgr I've attached the stderr of `grub-install --verbose --force "dummy"` as well, just in case it could be useful. There was nothing output to stdout when the command ran. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => grub (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928858 Title: grub-install error: "efibootmgr: not found" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/1928858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not exactly sure how to reproduce this bug, but I did encounter the
same issue. It looks like the bug was recently introduced in this

The problem is that os.O_PATH does not exist in python2, and only exists
in python3. However, python-apport is a python2 package.

[Bug 1616368] Re: Unable to upgrade ubuntu server from 14.04.4 to 16.04.1
I believe that I ran into the same issue while trying to run do-release- upgrade to upgrade my machine from 14.04.5 to 16.04.5. It would seem that the problem is that the plymouth package does not properly depend on the udev package, so when both are being upgraded (as is done during do-release-upgrade), the postinst script for plymouth is run before the postinst script for udev. This causes the plymouth postinst to complain about the udev service not being enabled, which doesn't happen until after the udev postinst runs. A log snippet from my do-release-upgrade run that shows udev postinst running after plymouth postinst: ``` Setting up plymouth (0.9.2-3ubuntu13.5) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults insserv: Service udev has to be enabled to start service plymouth insserv: exiting now! update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header dpkg: error processing package plymouth (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up libpython-stdlib:amd64 (2.7.12-1~16.04) ... Setting up gir1.2-glib-2.0:amd64 (1.46.0-3ubuntu1) ... Setting up udev (229-4ubuntu21.15) ... ``` I can see from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/plymouth/plymouth_0.9.3-1ubuntu7.debian.tar.xz that the bionic version of plymouth does indeed have a dependency on udev. So perhaps this same dependency just needs to also be added to the xenial version? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616368 Title: Unable to upgrade ubuntu server from 14.04.4 to 16.04.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1616368/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
