[Bug 2006050] [NEW] package grub-efi-amd64-signed 1.187.2~20.04.2+2.06-2ubuntu14 failed to install/upgrade: installed grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 (/dev/disk/by-id does not exist)

[Tuomas Heino]

Public bug reported:

Upgraded packages on a VM which had been dormant for a while.
Apparently /dev/disk/by-id doesn't exist and grub2-signed postinst isn't expecting such scenario.
