Went through pve update today and had a message saying
Removable bootloader found at ‘/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi’, but GRUB packages not set up to update it! Run the following command:
echo ‘grub-efi-amd64 grub2/force_efi_extra_removable boolean true’ | debconf-set-selections -v -u
Then reinstall GRUB with ‘apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64’
To anyone facing this message: don’t forget! See here in the Proxmox forums

Should I run these commands just in case, I wonder? I’m not sure if I’ve applied this particular update, but I haven’t rebooted in a little bit.
Edit: I hadn’t applied this particular update yet. Thanks to this post I was able to pay attention (I usually don’t pay attention) and ran the supplied commands.
Sounds like quite an important message to make sure the user is aware of
Yikes.
Thanks for posting that.
Um … you did that yourself, you know. You ran this.
apt update
The correct command is this.
apt-get dist-upgrade.
If you use the GUI to upgrade and watch what it does, it runs this second command. As you’ve discovered, its not optional. Fabian should have told you so in that post. He’s probably tired of relating that message to folks.
