Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2017-10-22 14:25:48 UTC

This is fallout from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/32BitUefiSupport . There are now grub2-efi-aa64-modules, grub2-efi-ia32-modules and grub2-efi-x64-modules noarch packages instead of a grub2-efi-modules arch-specific package, so that you can install 32-bit UEFI with an x86_64 distro or the other way round.

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2017-10-22 14:46:24 UTC

The grub2 package provides backwards compatibility Provides for grub2-efi (though they are ambiguous, both grub2-efi-x64 and grub2-efi-ia32 provide it), but not for grub2-efi-modules. I fixed the Calamares packaging to use the real package names. (I decided to use Requires for the x64 version and Recommends for the ia32 version, so that 32-bit UEFI is supported by default, but not required. The Calamares code already supports installing 32-bit UEFI on a 64-bit distro.)

Thanks for fixing that fast!

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2017-10-22 14:59:38 UTC

Well, it was just a trivial packaging change:
