Report bugs to <bug-grub(a)gnu.org>.
I haven't seen this warning since before COVID. There are lots of grub2-X
scripts, it would be useful to identify the culprit.
Maybe replace the current fgrep script with one that prints more details.
The last update I did was the first time I have ever seen this message.
Why are the grub maintainers not updating their scripts to avoid this?
Maybe they did and the change hasn't percolated down to Fedora yet -- I
need to check the srpms and upstream,
but I tend to rely on N. Hemisphere snowstorms for time to catch up on
neglected tasks.
