Re: apt tells me that grub-efi, grub2-common are no longer needed

No, not that I am aware of. But here is the ouput of

markus@bmtMB1:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep grub
ii  grub-common 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4                       
amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
rc  grub-efi-amd64 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u3                       
amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 version)
ii  grub-efi-amd64-bin 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4                       
amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 modules)
ii  grub-efi-amd64-signed 1+2.02+dfsg1+20+deb10u4                     
amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (amd64 UEFI signed by
Debian)
ii  grub-firmware-qemu 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4

     Hi, just before and also after today's "apt full-upgrade" apt tells
     me that:<br>
     <br>
     <pre><code>The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required</code>:
efibootmgr grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub2-common
libappindicator3-1 libcanberra-gtk3-0 libcanberra-gtk3-module
libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libdbusmenu-glib4 libdbusmenu-gtk3-4 libindicator3-7
libupsclient4 linux-headers-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64
linux-headers-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-common linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64
linux-kbuild-4.19 linux-kbuild-5.9 mokutil shim-helpers-amd64-signed
shim-signed-common
shim-unsigned

</pre>
     I don't have a good feeling when I see that it allows me to remove <br>
     "efibootmgr grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub2-common"
     <br>
     <br>
     <br>
     What is wrong here? I am on Buster and used kernel
     5.10.0-0.bpo.5-amd64. With today's
     <br>
     full-upgrade 5.10.0-0.bpo.7-amd64 came in.

Has grub-efi-amd64 been accidentally removed? AIUI that's the package
which depends on having the packages to boot your machine.

Cheers,
David.
