Hello Mathieu, or anyone else affected,

Accepted shim-signed into yakkety-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-
signed/1.21.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We might want to boot securely one of these days.

  [Test case]
  A) Upgrading
  - Update to new shim, shim-signed, grub2, grub2-signed on an UEFI system.
  - Verify that the new shimx64.efi file is under /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu, along with mmx64.efi and fbx64.efi.
  - Verify that /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/MokManager.efi no longer exists.
  - Verify that trying to apt install grub alone, or apt install shim alone, pulls in the correct matching versions of packages and gives the same results.

  B) Booting normally
  - Update to new shim, shim-signed, grub2, grub2-signed on an UEFI system, with Secure Boot enabled.
  - Verify it boots successfully to the login prompt.
  - There should be no messages about "Verification failure" or other errors before the kernel is loaded.

  B) Network boot.
  - Update to shim signed and grub2 signed EFI binaries on the TFTP server used.
  - Verify that a network booting system still boots normally through shim and grub, reaching a login prompt.

  C) BootEntry options
  - Update to new shim, shim-signed, grub2, grub2-signed on an UEFI system.
  - Update or install fwupdate.
  - Verify that new updates can be applied via fwupdate, that when an update is available, fwupdate will correctly start, apply the update, and reboot to shim normally, leading to a working system.

  [Regression Potential]
  Any failure to load the kernel from grub, or for shim to load grub, or for the system firmware to load shim (such as "Verification failure" messages) or failure to retrieve or parse BootEntry extended options (such as necessary to load MokManager or fwupdate) should be considered regressions.
