See if you have packages held back due to phasing.  You do that by
inspecting the output of apt upgrade, which currently on my
Ubuntu-derived Linux Mint system says:

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing:
  grub-efi-amd64-bin
The following packages have been kept back:
  grub-efi-amd64-signed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
N: Some packages may have been kept back due to phasing.
 _ _ _ _ _ _ _

So, after careful consideration[*], I decided it was worth the risk
to go ahead and upgrade these packages.  Here's how I did that:

$ sudo apt install --only-upgrade grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed

[*] Don't just go off willy-nilly forcing a phased update -- make sure
you understand the risks.
