Package: grub-efi
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-10
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream
Justification: breaks the whole system
My system has an unusually small EFI partition (1MB). I think the system was
set up this way in order to allow booting via "legacy" BIOS mode. During a
routine software update, apparently a new version of grub was installed, and
the new version was too large to fit in the EFI partition, and was therefore
truncated. However, no error was indicated and on the next reboot the system
failed to boot into the OS. Once I booted via a recovery device I attempted a
manual run of grub-install - again, it indicated no error. However, the boot
file "grubx64.efi" was truncated to fit in the available space, and the config
file "grub.cfg" had zero length, and the system could still not boot.
I have resized by EFI partition and repaired my system. Please, please, please,
you have to be careful about messing with the boot-loader when updating
software...
