Hey,

Have you changed the hard disk configuration on this machine recently by any chance?

We are used to seeing this error when the install device configured for GRUB have changed.

Can you run `dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed` and see if it prompts you for a new install device?

It could potentially have other causes as well, I am just trying to eliminate the common one.

This is possibly caused by the new ubuntu3 `grub2` package. We are on releasing an `ubuntu4` which resolves a known issue.

Hi Kukri,

This was a fresh install of 23.10 with the following steps,

Raid-0 (2x2TB SSD)

1. install 23.10
2. apt update
3. apt upgrade
4. reboot
5. do-release-upgrade -d
6. get the dpkg error.

-- For giggles, I just loaded 22.04 LTS updated on the box, and did the
do-release-upgrade -d and got the same result.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Mate Kukri (mkukri)]

Hi I believe this is caused by the same issue as LP: #2055294, the fix is committed, and is currently being held up by archive transitions.

I'll mark this as a duplicate of LP: #2055294 for now, and we can always revisit this if the queued grub update does not fix this
