The recent update: grub2-common-2.02-34.fc28.noarch.rpm and the update that came before has two 0 byte files in /etc/kernel/install.d [aakcaagac@localhost ~]$ ll /etc/kernel/install.d/ total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 23 21:33 20-grubby.install -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 23 21:33 90-loaderentry.install [aakcaagac@localhost ~]$ Do they have any meaning ? From what I remember, these files are also generated in: [aakcaagac@localhost ~]$ ll /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/ total 24 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1901 Apr 26 00:00 20-grubby.install -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4839 Apr 23 21:33 20-grub.install -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 368 Apr 26 00:00 50-depmod.install -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1712 Apr 26 00:00 50-dracut.install -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2102 Apr 26 00:00 90-loaderentry.install [aakcaagac@localhost ~]$ The difference here is: The ones in /usr/lib* have some content while the ones installed in /etc/* won't This looks like an packaging issue to me...
Btw: The 0 byte files are shipped by the package above. If you look inside the rpm they show up.
Moreover, it seems that the empty /etc/kernel/install.d/20-grubby.install supersedes the one in /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/ thus actually disabling it.

That's correct and the reason why it was added. The menu entries for grub2 can be defined either in the grub.cfg file or as BootLoaderSpec fragment files. The 20-grubby.install kernel-install script only supports the former, while the 20-grub.install script supports both. Moreover, the kernel-install script used to install kernels for grub2 really belongs to grub2 and it shouldn't be included in the systemd package. So to have a transition path, that empty 20-grubby.install was added. But the idea is to remove the 20-grubby.install that's included in the systemd package (and the empty one from grub2-common).
(In reply to Javier Martinez Canillas from comment #3) > That's correct and the reason why it was added. It would have been less irritating, if a comment was added to said file. We diff compare chrooted updates here (diff'ing ls -alR before and after update). And these two null byte files (where one is identical to the one in usr/lib, animated me to open this bug. > But the idea is to remove the 20-grubby.install that's included in the systemd > package (and the empty one from grub2-common). That would help.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
