Description Kamil Páral 2017-08-28 08:07:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
Fedora 27 installation fails with:
"The package 'shim' is required for this installation. This package does not exist. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted."

Screenshot:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/135285#step/_do_install_and_reboot/22

From anaconda.log:
19:42:54,352 DBG payload: added package requirement 'shim' for bootloader, strong=True

From packaging.log:
19:42:54,736 ERR packaging: Missed: NoSuchPackage('shim',)

The logs are here:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/135285#downloads


The package seems to got renamed, to shim-signed, I guess. But I don't really know, please investigate. Or reassign this bug to shim maintainer, if you feel like this is a problem on their side. Thanks.

Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2017-08-28 08:08:14 UTC 
This looks like a clear blocker.
Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2017-08-28 08:09:47 UTC 
Adding shim maintainers to CC.
Comment 3 Jiri Konecny 2017-08-28 08:25:48 UTC 
Hello,

Could you please confirm the renaming mentioned above?

Thanks
Comment 4 Paul Whalen 2017-08-28 20:26:44 UTC 
Also affects installations on aarch64.
Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2017-08-30 20:35:03 UTC 
We believe all the remaining issues with grub2 / shim package naming and provides *should* be fixed in the next compose that actually completes (there were two issues, comps needing to be updated again for changed grub2 package names, and some provides missing from shim-signed).
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2017-09-04 16:11:46 UTC 
This is confirmed fixed in the recent composes (though there's a remaining issue with anaconda not being updated for the new shim executable names).
