Without this patch, GRUB may proceed to wipe all firmware boot entries
 | 
						||
and report a successful installation, even if efibootmgr hit an error.

Subject: Make grub-install check for errors from efibootmgr
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Code is currently ignoring errors from efibootmgr, giving users
 | 
						||
clearly bogus output like:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
        Setting up grub-efi-amd64 (2.02~beta3-4) ...
 | 
						||
        Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
 | 
						||
        Could not delete variable: No space left on device
 | 
						||
        Could not prepare Boot variable: No space left on device
 | 
						||
        Installation finished. No error reported.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
and then potentially unbootable systems. If efibootmgr fails, grub-install
 | 
						||
should know that and report it!
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
We've been using similar patch in Debian now for some time, with no ill effects.

Below is a followup to the patch above: the uninitialized variable could lead
 | 
						||
‘grub-install’ to error out when it shouldn’t (seen on an AArch64 box where
 | 
						||
‘grub_install_remove_efi_entries_by_distributor’ didn't have any entry to
 | 
						||
remove):
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
  grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Unknown error 65535.
