cbm update fails to perform; reinstall does not work

[felixg3]

Hello,

unfortunately I have created issues with the boot partition. During my attempts to repair /boot/efi, I think I wiped the partition. However here are my error logs that I have recorded. Unfortunately I rely on keeping this system running till I found a solution (silly, I know. Good this is my dev machine and not a production system).

$ sudo blkid

After trying the solution from #https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-boot-manager/issues/179 I wiped my whole /boot/efi partition, trying to reinstall with CBM. In case sh** hits the fan, I can still restore from a full system image that is luckily only two weeks old. Thank you a lot for your help!

what's the clr-boot-manager version you running? (you can check with: clr-boot-manager version)
