[Bug 1770579] Re: package shim-signed 1.34.9+13-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

[Steve Langasek]

Line 90 of this script is:

    local key=$1

This is an error in the code; up until this point the password is quoted
everywhere so that it will properly handle whitespace within the string,
then at this point it is not.
