Public bug reported:
The grub-install apt upgrade does not complete successfully on my
system.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.10
Release: 16.10
Codename: yakkety
Kernel: 4.8.0-32-generic
arch: X86_64
Here is the error from the apt-get upgrade
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.74+2.02~beta2-36ubuntu11) ...
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please
specify --target or --directory.
dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
shim-signed
grub-efi-amd64-signed
I checked into this problem and since my system is not an i386
architecture there is no i386 directory in /usr/lib/grub directory. Is
it possible that the post install script does not use the architecture
properly? I would not expect the post install to call anything from the
i386 directory on an X86_64 system.
$ apt-cache policy grub-install

Please advise if you need any more log files or information.
