If I try removing grub2-efi in the hope that the upgrade will then proceed I run the risk
of leaving the machine totally unbootable.
If this is an i686 system you can safely remove grub2-efi, i686 Fedora installs
have never supported / used efi booting.
We should probably still look into fixing this in grub2 though, looking at:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=988586
grub2's i686 builds no longer have a -efi subpackage (which makes perfect
sense). So the grub2-pc.i686 package is going to need an Obsoletes for grub2-efi,
I will mail Peter Jones asking him to add this.
