One thing I found interesting in your issue is that it wants to install the following 3 packages
sdbootutil 1+git20240215.cb7e392-1.1 sdbootutil-rpm-scriptlets 1+git20240215.cb7e392-1.1 systemd-boot 254.9-2.1
Those are for switching from grub2 to systemd-boot for your bootloader. I suspect TW will switch at some point and know work has been done but have not seen anything saying that is happening anytime soon.
I have been helping a friend debug an issue with their system because they keep getting some of the systemd-boot components installed after doing a zypper dup but we have been uanble to determine what is triggering their install as they have always used grub2 and never installed any of the systemd-boot components.
I wonder if my friends issue is also what you are seeing here with those systemd components being installed...
I've tried looking for requires/recommends that would trigger it but have not found anything so far.
I think the connection is perl-bootloader is in process of being phased out, being replaced by either suse-module-tools-scriptlets and/or sdbootutil-rpm-scriptlets and related bootloader rpm-macros packages changes. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
