Granted, something is wrong here.  But you reported a bug against the
shim-signed package about a failure to upgrade.  The upgrade failure is
because your ESP is not mounted.  Ubuntu did not unmount this partition; you
must have made a local change to your fstab to comment the entry out.
Ubuntu also did not remove the Windows bootloader from the ESP; if you are
unable to boot Windows, that is not a result of an Ubuntu bug.

Title:
  Dual boot does not work after upgrade to 16.04

Status in shim-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04. The process was not completed
  apparently due a problem with shim-signed. I now find the following
  message every time I try to update the system:

  Setting up shim-signed (1.12+0.8-0ubuntu2) ...
  Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
  grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
  dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   shim-signed
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Furthermore, I have a dual boot system with Windows and Ubuntu but
  only the latter works. Something seems to have gone south with UEFI. I
  attach the efibootmgr output. My /etc/fstab looks as follows

  # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
