As mentioned in my preceding comment, while there will always be cases
where the SecureBoot package may be removed and result in losing SB
compatibility, when we know that the system has SB enabled we don't
really want this to happen without warning to the user.  Retitling this
bug, which can be used to track this issue.

** Summary changed:

- Secure boot fails after upgrade to 15.10
+ SecureBoot-enabled bootloader can be overwritten with non-SB without warning

** Changed in: shim (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: shim (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

Title:
  SecureBoot-enabled bootloader can be overwritten with non-SB without
  warning

Status in shim package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I was previously running XUbuntu 15.04 on my Asus UX303L laptop.

  The configuration is dual boot with windows 8.1.

  I ran the upgrade via the software updater and it proceeded normally.

  Upon reboot, I got a red screen saying that something was wrong with
  secure boot and it had to be fixed in the BIOS.

  In BIOS, I disabled Secure boot and was again able to access XUbuntu.

  I would like to re-enable secure boot, but cannot.

  I am happy to help debugging in any way - I am a qualified computer
  scientist.

  Sincere thanks,
  Bob
