Systemd-logind - Unknown line

Noticed the following in the logs of my freshly-installed f42:

I didn’t mess with these files, so an installation bug?

Does not look like an installation bug. I see similar entries in journalctl as far back as October on f40 so whatever is the cause seems a discrepancy between the kernel installation and systemd-logind.

It is a notification and not something that interferes with booting or operation so you can choose to ignore it or choose to file a bug report against the systemd-logind process.

I know of no reason for systemd-logind to access the files under /boot/loader/entries which seems to be where those messages originate.

Do you suggest filing on systemd GitHub or against the corresponding Fedora package?

It is not logical that system-logind should even access the bls files, but apparently it does. It can be prevented by not flagging the /boot partition as an
extended boot partition aka bls_boot in gparted.

If you run bootctl, you will see the same messages.

Indeed:

$ sudo bootctl
