[Bug 1527311] [NEW] grub2.02~beta2-29ubuntu0.2 fails in Windows 8 UEFI Secure Boot

[Andrew Tribick]

Public bug reported:

Since the upgrade to grub version 2.02~beta2-29ubuntu0.2, Secure Boot in
Windows 8 UEFI mode fails to launch GRUB, instead it falls back to the
Windows boot loader. In order to be able to dual boot I have had to
switch to Legacy Secure Boot. (These are the terms used in the ASUS UEFI
Bios Utility)

I have attempted to downgrade the packages grub-common, grub-efi-amd64,
grub-efi-amd64-bin and grub2-common to 2.0~beta2-29 but this did not
solve the problem: I recall that the Muon Update manager put up a
notification about changes to other packages when the upgrade appeared
but I cannot remember what the dependent packages were.
