Comment 47 for bug 1725560

Alright, here is what I did. I used the default Artful sources. I started with the updated upstream ovmf version 0~20171027.76fd5a66-1.

apt-get update
apt-get remove ovmf
apt-get install ovmf

dpkg -l ovmf | cat
ovmf 0~20170911.5dfba97c-1 all UEFI firmware for 64-bit x86 virtual machines

Tested package and confirmed not working.

This was without the proposed repository enabled. I initially did not notice the version was the same as what you posted.

Added proposed sources to /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
apt-get remove ovmf
apt-get install ovmf

dpkg -l ovmf | cat
ovmf 0~20170911.5dfba97c-1 all UEFI firmware for 64-bit x86 virtual machines

It would seem that the package most likely moved quickly from proposed into the main repositories, however this package does not fix my issue.

Installed the upstream package:
dpkg -i ovmf_0-20171027.76fd5a66-1_all.deb

dpkg -l ovmf | cat
ovmf 0~20171027.76fd5a66-1 all UEFI firmware for 64-bit x86 virtual machines

This package is confirmed working.

If there is anything else I can do, let me know.
