Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
A Toshiba laptop with a single disk, with GPT partitions, a few days ago
performed a normal upgrade:

During the course of this upgrade, I was prompted to run:
$ /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl
Do to some debconf database corrupt (I believe the package which prompted this
was either mysql-common or mariadb-common)
I recall some questions / answers related to linux (and potentially grub) being
removed due to there being no corresponding question (or similiar)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Rebooted on 7 Mar
* What was the outcome of this action?
grub went into grub rescue mode and displayed:
error: symbol `grub_is_lockdown` not found
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A reboot into a functioning system.
Currently, I am booting using a rescue CD and then entering commands to
manually start the laptop
