GRUB-EFI-AMD64-Signed Package – Post-Installation Script Error

aptdual-bootgrub-efi

My dual boot laptop runs Ubuntu 18.04.3 as my main OS after an upgrade, also with Windows. Whenever I attempt to install or update apps I get this error:

Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.128+2.04-1ubuntu12) ...
dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):
 installed grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess ret
urned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 grub-efi-amd64-signed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Now this happens with any interaction apt which is very inconvenient. I already attempted to update grub but did not have any solution with that.

Heres my dpkg and fstab if that can be any help.

According to this bug report, you need to install mokutil to fix the problem.

It seems that this package is a missing dependency.
