When uninstalling some packages (yeah, big cleanup) with clean_requirements_on_remove=1, dracut got uninstalled too.

Here is the yum log:

I do not know what can be done, but it is no good that a vital component can be removed so easily.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2013-11-06 09:28:28 UTC

Well, you can even remove the kernel package.

Comment 2 Kay Sievers 2013-11-06 17:06:09 UTC

Which is the right to do. Dracut or the kernel are optional and should
stay that way. Virtualization and containers need to work that way. Nothing
should pull them unconditionally in.

The above  log with deleting all random stuff just makes not much sense,
and is not really surprising; it just hurts when you stick a fork in your eye.

Comment 3 Marcos Mello 2013-11-06 18:05:41 UTC

Right. I missed the virtualization case. Thanks Kay.
