[Bug 1928011] Re: grub-efi-amd64-signed: Depends: grub2-common (>= 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.31) but 2.04-1ubuntu26.11 is to be installed

[Daniel Hollocher]

Tj, from irc #ubuntu, says "I can see the problem. it's the onegrub
builds for i386 going back to 16.04 ... the updater is picking the FIRST
in the list which is for Version: 1.167+2.04-1ubuntu44"

I think this is in reference to a change in grub2: grub2-unsigned
(2.04-1ubuntu44) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * Compile grub-efi-amd64 installable i386 platform on hirsute, to make
    it available in bionic and earlier as part of onegrub builds.
