Bug Description
1.
Ubuntu Mate 16.10
2.
shim-signed:
Installed: 1.21.3+
Candidate: 1.21.3+
Version table:
*** 1.21.3+
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
3.
I was expecting that it is not going to boot at all because i got an error during the installation, which interrupted the installation, and then pc rebooted.
4.
I Was installing "ubuntu mate 16.10" when this happened [Note that i already have Kubuntu 16.04.1 and ubuntu mate 16.04.1 installed on other separate partitions.]. I was following the standard installation process i.e. selected language (en-US), Keyboard layout (US), checked download updates during installation, and install third party software.
I believe the "install third party software" option led me to "turn off secure boot" option, which i did by giving it a random password, which led me to an error during installation. Then, the pc rebooted.
After this i booted into kubuntu (since i didnt see any ubuntu mate 16.10 in grub menu), and updated the grub then booted into ubuntu mate 16.10 which led me to this error.

It appears to be an error that something is trying to install shim-signed on your system.
Mathieu, is there anything in the ubiquity code that would be /requesting/ installation of shim-signed?
