You are correct, the package is only needed for legacy BIOS installs. There was a bug in Anaconda that caused grub2-pc to wrongly be included for EFI installs. This was fixed by: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/8a8cc7a1a9bee434d07836e43ea9d43220752bab > ll /etc/grub2.cfg > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 22 May 20 12:19 /etc/grub2.cfg -> > ../boot/grub2/grub.cfg > > The /boot/grub2/grub.cfg must be a %ghost entry in the rpm as the file > doesn't actually exist: > Yes is a %ghost file and created by Anaconda on installation using the grub2-mkconfig tool. Just like the /etc/grub2-efi.cfg file on EFI installs, that's also a %ghost file from the grub2-efi package. > # rpm -ql grub2-pc > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg > /boot/loader/entries > /etc/grub2.cfg > > The description from the info about the package is also useless: > > The GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) is a highly configurable and > customizable bootloader with modular architecture.
