Hi,
    I have just used dnf to put on the currently available maintenance in F38, having not put any on for a week or so, after upgrading from F37 via dnf system-upgrade a couple of weeks ago.
    After putting on the maintenance I used grub2-mkconfig to build the grub.cfg file and got the message below after it notified of finding the linux kernels, does anyone know what this means and why they are being produced from the released version of grub2-mkconfig, the process I ran after the maintenance I put on a week or so ago did not produce these messages?

fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F

 /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig --help
[...]
Report bugs to <bug-grub@xxxxxxx>.

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?
    
    regards,
    Steve
