Bug Description

Dpkg's default compression may change to zstd in 21.10 (LP: #1923845). The packages listed here should be changed to compress the binary packages with xz to make binary copying them to Trusty and Xenial safe.

grub2 doesn't get copied back, only grub2-signed and grub2-unsigned. (grub2-signed is also not a binary copy back that far so this is probably technically not required, but we should double-check.)

Hello Balint, or anyone else affected,

Accepted shim-signed into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-signed/1.47 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

This was not necessary to include in the SRU of shim-signed to hirsute (and in fact I specifically omitted the change from the upload I did to hirsute-proposed, which got clobbered). But it also doesn't have any impact for hirsute since -Zxz is already the default, so given that the package has successfully been installed by users I consider this verified and not a blocker for the SRU.

We do not actually care about this on pre-impish releases, since their dpkg builds with xz anyway. This is just an artefact from binary copying the shim :/
