Hi,

Can you check what version of the grub-common and grub2-common packages does your system have installed? (dpkg -l)

[lotuspsychje (lotuspsychje)]

@ #2 Mate:

ii grub-common 2.12-1ubuntu4 amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
ii grub2-common 2.12-1ubuntu4 amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader (common files for version 2)

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

The following packages have been kept back:
  grub-common grub2-common ....

Can you try just upgrading grub-common and grub2-common first and then upgrading shim-signed?

E.g. by:

apt update
apt install --only-upgrade grub-common grub2-common
apt install --only-upgrade shim-signed

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

Ok thanks after upgrade grub-common grub2-common...

corrado@corrado-n4-nn-0215:~$ sudo apt install --only-upgrade shim-signed

[Brett Holman (holmanb)]

solution worked for me as well

[Skia (hyask)]

Solution worked here too. :-)

[Tamás Pénzes (penzes-tamas)]

Worked for me too. apt upgrade worked after it perfectly for other packages.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

I think we can actually just respin noble's shim-signed with Breaks: grub-common (= 2.12-1ubuntu3) for the few people affected by this

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package shim-signed - 1.58

---------------
shim-signed (1.58) noble; urgency=medium

  * Prevent postinst failing when broken grub-common was previously
    installed(LP: #2056562)
