[Bug 1753518] Re: package grub-efi-amd64-signed 1.93+2.02-2ubuntu8 failed to install/upgrade: installed grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Bert Vermeulen]

That appears to be unrelated to this bug, plenty of space left here for
me with no dump files.

I'm seeing the same error everyone else is seeing: efibootmgr unable to
delete a file in EFI via sysfs, as Thierry Mallard's strace already
showed:

unlink("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/Boot0003-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c") = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "Could not delete variable", 25Could not delete variable) = 25
write(2, ": Invalid argument\n", 19: Invalid argument
)    = 19
