Package: efibootmgr
Version: 0.5.4-7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using :
  # efibootmgr -b <n> -l <new_path> -L <new_name>
fails to apply the expected changes to the <n>'s entry. No related
message is displayed in dmesg when trying to do so.

On the other hand, adding/removing entries and changing boot order does
work as expected.

Below a "screen" copy of one attempt on my system (Asus G55VW) :
