package shim-signed 1.5~13.04.1+0.4-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

You appear to have the 'grub' package installed on your system. If you are on an EFI system, you must be using grub2. Please install the grub-efi-amd64 package to fix this issue.

We should fix this by adding a dependency on grub2-common to shim-signed.

This bug was fixed in the package shim-signed - 1.6

shim-signed (1.6) trusty; urgency=low

  * Also add a build-dependency on grub2-common, to ensure that our
    grub-install is the correct one - since grub-efi-amd64-bin is
    coinstallable with grub1. LP: #1259558.

Thanks.
I can confirm, that after installation of grub-efi-amd64 I could continue to upgrade ubuntu to 13.10 without problem.

Hello Viktor, or anyone else affected,

Accepted shim-signed into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-signed/1.9~12.04.1 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 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, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

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

I confirm that installing the version of shim-signed in precise-proposed on a system that has grub installed will remove grub in favor of grub2-common.

The precise version of grub2-common does not contain the grub-install utility, so installing grub2-common will not cause the shim-signed package to successfully install the bootloader to /boot/efi/EFI/. It will however allow the package to be installed, avoiding upgrade failures.

For precise, users will still need to otherwise ensure that they have the correct bootloader package installed for their system.
