Package: grub-efi-amd64-bin Version: 2.02~beta2-20 Severity: critical On a couple of occasions recently my system has been updated to remove boot/bootx86.efi from the EFI boot partition, and on a new install on a separate machine this file was not installed at all. Instead debian/grubx86.efi was left installed. Unfortunately on both systems my BIOS ignores this file and will only boot boot/bootx86.efi so these updates make the system unbootable.
Severity critical due to the deletion of existing boot/bootx86.efi - one on occasion this caused my system to boot into the Windows recovery partition which proceeded to unconditionally start repartitioning the system destroying data and without recovery media to hand it renders the system unusuable even without that. Apologies if this is filed against the wrong package, I'm not 100% clear what is responsible for installing these files. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/6424c5eb-8fa3-46fd-af94-8a581aa54f14 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
