There's no sdubby, but systemd-boot-unsigned is installed. (On
another, working F39, there's no systemd-boot-unsigned or
systemd-boot).

This directory exists and contains only a file named 'initrd', whcih
doesn't belong to any package. But since it is dated Oct 2, I may have
created it when following a random suggestion I created an initrd.

I only see one kernel (the old, belonging to F38), which is in /boot.

Even though not all the above conditions held, I went ahead and did
this. And voila, the reinstall now ran without errors, and I could
boot into the latest F39 kernel.
Thanks a lot!

Should I still uninstall systemd-boot-unsigned?

What still puzzles me is that rpm -V kernel-core-6.10.11 didn't show
any problem, even though some files it contains were missing. I can
still see this with an earlier fc39 kernel-core that I haven't
reinstalled.
