While kdumpctl has logic to handle the lack of /usr/sbin/grubby, it does Recommend grubby. Please consider updating the Recommend to be (grubby or sdubby) for those that are moving to systemd-boot. In practice, grubby or sdubby are likely already installed, so the Recommend is a no-op, but it may make package resolution easier for dnf. Proposed patch will be attached. Reproducible: Didn't try
Created attachment 2023217 [details] Proposed patch for kexec-tools.spec file
Note that until recently, sdubby had a "Provides: grubby" stanza, but that was removed recently. Adding in sdubby as meeting the recommends returns kexec-tools to approximate equivalency before that other fix in sdubby.

This should probably wait in Bug 2271533 being resolved. I note that some code paths depend on the --update-kernel=ALL parm to grubby. This is currently not supported by sdubby. I have added a dependency on Bug 2271533 which requests support for --update-kernel=ALL to sdubby.
Did kdumpctl change, because kdump was one of the reasons I went for the "emulate grubby" path, and kdumpctl was working on systemd-boot for a while.

I do not think kdumpctl itself changed. However, when sdubby no longer provided grubby, the Recommends: grubby could no longer be satisfied with sdubby (before it could), which was the reason for the suggested change in the Recommend. However, there are some code paths in kdumpctl which seem to use --update-kernel=ALL, but some do not. Those that do not *probably* work if sdubby is installed (I have not personally tested it, but a skim of the code suggests it should).
