Hi Felix,

One thing I found interesting in your issue is that it wants to install the following \
3 packages

   sdbootutil                 1+git20240215.cb7e392-1.1
   sdbootutil-rpm-scriptlets  1+git20240215.cb7e392-1.1
   systemd-boot               254.9-2.1

Those are for switching from grub2 to systemd-boot for your bootloader.   I suspect \
TW will switch at some point and know work has been done but have not seen anything \
saying that is happening anytime soon.

I have been helping a friend debug an issue with their system because they keep \
getting some of the systemd-boot components installed after doing a zypper dup but we \
have been uanble to determine what is triggering their install as they have always \
used grub2 and never installed any of the systemd-boot components.

I wonder if my friends issue is also what you are seeing here with those systemd \
components being installed...

I've tried looking for requires/recommends that would trigger it but have not found \
anything so far.
