I have an update and workaround. Systemd-boot works if the file is /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi but fails if the file is /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI


On my desktop where the update fails:
root@fdesk:/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT# ls -l
-rwx------ 1 root root 124888 Sep  3 14:38 BOOTX64.EFI

The desktop was installed with a fresh debian trixie and converted to systemd-boot after install.

On my laptop where it succeeded:

root@flt-dell5515:/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT# ls -l
-rwx------ 1 root root 957136 Jul 29 13:40 BOOTX64.efi
-rwx------ 1 root root  87888 May  4  2024 fbx64.efi

The laptop was upgraded from an older vesion of debian to trixie and then converted to systemd-boot


On the failing system I renamed BOOTX64.EFI to BOOTX64.efi  (cp BOOTX64.EFI BOOTX64.EFI.tmp ; cp BOOTX64.EFI.tmp BOOTX64.efi)

Now the upgrade succeeds and now I have

root@fdesk:/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT# ls -l
-rwx------ 1 root root 957136 Jul 29 13:40 BOOTX64.efi
-rwx------ 1 root root  87888 May  4  2024 fbx64.efi
