Per my last comment on IRC, I think 'exit 1' is actually better here because we aren't taking the specified action. grub calls update- secureboot-policy || true, but that just sets the trigger anyway. shim- signed calls without the || true, and so the trigger will fail under this condition. But ultimately it's going to fail no matter what, we're better off failing immediately instead of only when someone notices the full logs and kills the process.

Looking at my process list, I saw/ usr/sbin/update-secureboot-policy was using a log of CPU. I killed the process. I have a /var/crash/shim-signed.0.crash but since it's 750 MB, I didn't bother submitting it or looking at it more. Maybe it crashed because I killed the process. Also, I see that unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log is 722 MB. Today's update included both VirtualBox and the linux kernel. I am attaching an excerpt of /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended- upgrades-dpkg.log This message was repeated a very large number of times (but I only included it once in the attachment: "Invalid password The Secure Boot key you've entered is not valid. The password used must be between 8 and 16 characters."
