[Bug 1792948] Re: Failed to install grub-ieee1275 from Trusty release-pocket on a Power8 system

[Po-Hsu Lin]

Unable to reproduce this with the proposed Trusty kernel in this cycle,
I think this is because there is no grub-ieee1275 related update in the
proposed pocket now.

Title:
  Failed to install grub-ieee1275 from Trusty release-pocket on a Power8
  system

Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests:
  New
Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  Triaged
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This issue happened before as described in bug 1641567, but it's gone
  for a while.

  However, this Power8 node (modoc) haven't been tested for a couple
  months so I'm not sure when this issue came back.

  Steps:
    1. Deploy a Power8 system with Trusty
    2. Run a dist-upgrade, which will pull-in the grub-ieee1275 package.
   
  Result:
  $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
