Description

The context is https://github.com/coreos/bootupd/pull/765#issuecomment-2476213020, when doing updates, find that it does not add the missing files.

Steps:

  • Fresh install silverblue 41.1.4 (older version), remove BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI & BOOT/fbia32.efi and upgrade bootupd to 0.2.25-1.fc41, remove /boot/bootupd-state.json, run bootupctl adopt-and-update successfully.
  • Upgrade to 41.20241201.0, check bootloader-update.service is successful to update grub2 and shim, but check BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI & BOOT/fbia32.efi are not added.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Silverblue upgrade sequence, including bootupctl adopt-and-update and removal of /boot/bootupd-state.json. Inspect the successful bootloader-update.service run while checking whether BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI and BOOT/fbia32.efi are restored; done means both missing files are added during the update.
