Title:
  Shim apparently fails to run fwupd64 (hirsute regression?)

Status in shim-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am running hirsute on Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 7. Fwupdmgr used to
  work on groovy. Now, fwupdmgr detects new firmware, successfully
  places the .cap file in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/fw/, successfully sets
  efi "next boot" to 2 which is "Linux-Firmware-Updater", but on reboot,
  there are no signs that fwupdx64 was attempted to be executed, and
  system drops directly into grub.

  Same when I use BIOS boot menu. There are entries for "ubuntu" and for
  "Linux firmware updater", but selecting any of them boots grub.

  After boot, EFI "BootCurrent" points to the updater entry, though it
  apparently did not run!

  $ efibootmgr -v|head

  These sympptoms match precisely a previous bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1864223

  Could it be that the fix introduced then was lost, maybe due to
  signing schedule?

  There is a github ticket https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo-
  thinkpad/issues/123 that could be explained by this problem too.
