Error running gnupg command on ubuntu 18.04

[Premchand_Budhu (premchand)]

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade an on premise mongo DB cluster from 4.4.3 to 4.4.20 on Ubuntu 18.04 and I am getting the following error:

sudo apt-get install gnupg"

----- ERROR ----

Hi @Premchand_Budhu welcome to the community!

It’s been some time since you posted this question. Have you managed to solve it?

If not, the error that caught my eye is this one:

grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

Quick search on that message leads me to this topic in Unix StackExchange: linux - Cannot find EFI directory: issue with grub-install - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange and this topic in ServerFault Ubuntu 18.04 "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory" - Server Fault

I’m not a Linux expert, so this might be way off and doesn’t solve your issue. I’m hoping this should provide you a good start if you’re still seeing this issue though

Best regards
Kevin
