Description Adam Williamson 2022-11-23 17:48:54 UTC 
Today's Rawhide failed due to a problem with the latest grub2 build:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=94441861

That's an aarch64 image build, but it also breaks live and installer builds - it breaks most image builds.

The problem is that grub2 decided to stop installing unicode.pf2 to /boot/grub2/fonts as part of https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/c/0ccadff7a2be9fcc858e0a1cb7825beb5d81f8c6?branch=rawhide , but lorax expects it to be there when lorax builds some EFI images (I'm not sure why we have both grub2 and lorax building EFI images, differently):

https://github.com/weldr/lorax/blob/master/share/templates.d/99-generic/efi.tmpl#L20
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/blob/master/share/templates.d/99-generic/live/efi.tmpl#L20

There may be a better long-term solution here (reduce the duplication, have lorax embed the font too?), but to get things working again short-term, I propose just installing the font file again for now: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/pull-request/23 .

This is an automatic F38 Beta blocker: "Bugs which entirely prevent the composition of one or more of the release-blocking images required to be built for a currently-pending (pre-)release"
