My PC received an update last night that failed on install. Unfortunately, I missed the initial error in the console before I closed the package updater, but I think it was likely the same as the output from my autoremove below:
$ sudo apt autoremove
Reading package lists... Done

I learned the answer to this problem, and the answer is to leave it alone.

Don't break your Debian trying to do this; just setup a temp install of another distro. In my case, that's Nobara, as it has easy access to bleeding-edge packages, but it could be anything, including another expendable ...

Being as it's only in Sid, and has not even made it to Trixie, I think it's going to need more time.

Good thing you were not able to compile and install it manually; that would have broken your system. Our AHS just (carefully) updated Mesa to 24.4.8 about a week ago.

I was able to fix this using the boot-repair tool in a live environment. https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/
I don't know if the problem should have been fixed by the MX Boot Repair, or if something was encountered that it couldn't detect as a problem. It completed with no errors, but ...

My NVME was dual boot Win10/MX23, and I tired of the Win10 partition, so I booted to MXLive and deleted it and the other superfluous partitions. Afterward, I updated the grubcfg and booted successfully into MX23.

Then I rebooted to MXLive and moved the EFI partition left and rebooted. All was well ...

TY for the reply, and apologies for the delay in mine. I am traveling presently.

So, as already suggested, install e.g. entire drive.
Next, 1st simple test, reboot into LiveUSB and at the LiveBoot menu do select Boot Rescue -> search for efi-booloader

This works great for ...
