Hello *,

I just stumbled across this line in the efivar LFS file:

> VER        = 38

Since the correspondent rootfile is in ~/config/rootfiles/common/, I guess
efivar is not a package, and this line can/should be removed. Same issue
applies to efibootmgr, by the way.

Am I mistaken here? Did I miss anything?

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Hello,

This is the version from upstream, and not PAK_VER.

We need this in the installer and GRUB needs it on EFI-based systems.

Hello Michael,

thanks for your reply.

Sigh, that was my improperly caffeinated self typing before thinking, again. :-/

Best,
Peter Müller
