Actions failing due to grub-efi-amd64 error

[Serafadam]

Description

Hi! I'm not sure if this is related specifically to setup-ros, but some of actions on our repository have started failing at setup-ros step, I thought that this related to versions of actions, but updating them didn't change anything.

Expected Behavior

Actions passing.

Actual Behavior

Actions fail with following error messages:

  Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.187.3~22.04.1+2.06-2ubuntu14.1) ...
  mount: /var/lib/grub/esp: special device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14d534654202020200690df035523a242afc173af9e57f2a4-part15 does not exist.
  dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):
   installed grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 32
  Processing triggers for mailcap (3.70+nmu1ubuntu1) ...
  Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.17-2) ...
  Processing triggers for man-db (2.10.2-1) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   grub-efi-amd64-signed
  needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

To Reproduce

As this involves Github runner, I guess best option is for me to retrigger those actions manually.

System (please complete the following information)

Github runner, you can check out workflow file here

Thanks for the report.

I'm seeing the error too: https://github.com/ros2/ros2_tracing/actions/runs/4259543402/jobs/7411865548#step:3:179

Adding sudo apt-mark hold grub-efi-amd64-signed to setup-ros could be a temporary workaround, but a proper solution would be better.

Looks like this was a problem with Ubuntu 20.04 in the past:

• Installation failure for grub-efi-amd64-signed actions/runner-images#1605
