[Bug 2083176] Re: grub-efi install device being prompted on upgrade, despite only /boot/efi being an option.

[Mate Kukri]

So it looks like the real cause is that the nvme-eui.* symlinks
disappear for some reason.

This will need more time for investigation, but i've seen other issues
with those exact symlinks disappearing, so we need to figure out the
root cause.


** Summary changed:

- grub-efi install device being prompted on upgrade, despite only /boot/efi being an option.
+ grub-efi/install_devices becoming stale due to by-id/nvme-eui.* symlinks disappearing

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A family member just sent me this dialog that popped up when they
  installed their updates today. I'm not sure how a regular user is
  supposed to be able to handle what is presented here. Do they check
  the box? What happens if they don't?

  Heck, even I don't know what the proper action is here.

  This dialog box needs to be removed and a safe default needs to be
  applied automatically during upgrades.
