Description abrouwers 2013-08-23 01:10:44 UTC
Description of problem:

I was trying to remove initscripts, out of curiosity, on an f19 system; I found only that vte3 was my last dependent package on initscripts; after rebuilding it + removing the package, dracut produces the following:

bash-4.2# dracut -f
E: Directories consolefonts, consoletrans, keymaps, unimaps not found.  Please inform us about the issue including your OS name and version.
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'pidof'
E: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.Afke0S -a mount mknod mkdir pidof sleep chroot sed ls flock cp mv dmesg rm ln rmmod mkfifo umount readlink setsid


I'm not sure about the first error, but the second appears to be because pidof is missing; perhaps dracut should not depend on this binary, or depend on the package providing it?

Comment 2 abrouwers 2013-08-23 21:47:51 UTC
Sorry, but not quite:

bash-4.2# dracut -f
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'setfont'
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'loadkeys'
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'kbd_mode'
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.8ATyJl -a setfont loadkeys kbd_mode stty
find: '/keymaps': No such file or directory
dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/consolefonts/latarcyrheb-sun16.*'
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.8ATyJl /consolefonts/latarcyrheb-sun16.*


This is using an RPM build from the f20 src RPM, built in mock:

bash-4.2# rpm -q dracut
dracut-032-1.fc19.x86_64

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:15:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 11:24:34 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
