Title:
  Fails to upgrade: `efibootmgr: Could not add entry to BootOrder: No
  space left on device`

Status in efibootmgr package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On my MacBook, the grub upgrade of this morning failed silently: no
  error was reported by the graphical update manager. On reboot, it then
  skipped grub and booted directly to OSX. Reboot again holding `alt`
  key did not list Ubuntu.

  My solution was to boot on a 15.04 usb key, to chroot on the disk and
  to run grub-mkdevicemap (running "update-grub" or "apt-get install
  --reinstall grub-efi-amd64" did not work). After that, rebootingon
  Ubuntu was possible.

  You will find below the apt logs of this morning upgrade, and then the
  apt log of the "apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64" try
  (sorry, all in french):
