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

[Markus <debianer@gmx.de>]

Ok so...hmmm...I did not remove it myself. I mean why would I want to do
that?!?! Nevertheless this is an issue now.
Interestingly when booting my computer this morning grub was there and
booted into Buster. Shouldn't it be gone if it got removed (even though
it not got purged)? Hmmm...!?!?

How to fix that? Is there actually something wrong (this morning grub
was there!!!) that needs to be fixed?
Is it save to just reinstall grub-efi-amd64?

Cheers
Markus
