Package: efibootmgr
Version: 0.12-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Until about 1 month ago, efibootmgr was able to modify and delete boot menu
items. I do not know exactly when it started failing, but I just noticed it
today.
Running Debian Testing. Tested with kernel 3.16 from testing as well as kernel
4.0 from unstable.
$ sudo efibootmgr -b 0016 -B
efibootmgr: Boot entry 0016 not found
efibootmgr: Could not delete boot variable: Success
$ echo $?
15
The expected result is that boot entry 0016 is deleted.

Robert: Thanks. Looks like you're not alone:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785786
Peter: I'm building stock efivar (with just the SONAME version patch)
0.20 and stock efibootmgr 0.12 for Debian. Are you seeing this issue
as well? Based on #785786, it seems like the issue is in efivar. See my
attached strace.
