Description Harald Hoyer 2015-05-18 12:54:30 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1118988 +++

I have been getting:

dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'vi'
dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/etc/virc'
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.8LBEMd -a vi /etc/virc ps grep cat rm

When installing kernel-3.15.4 and when I intalled kernel-3.15.3.

The computer seems to work fine. However, I don't belieive I should be getting this.

Please help me to resolve it.

Thanks

Getting similar too. Few months ago I ran:
yum remove vim-minimal-7.4.179-1.fc20.x86_64

And today during update:

This is affecting also mock builds when the kernel package is one of the dependencies. Rising severity since this make such builds to fail.

--- Additional comment from David Caro on 2015-05-11 02:30:19 EDT ---

As a workaround on mock, you can install the vim-minimal package manually before running it

--- Additional comment from Tuomo Soini on 2015-05-13 14:09:36 EDT ---

dracut should depend on vim-minimal.

Same problem in rhel7.

commit 54b68829b60bc3f4c28cfca1ab0336584fe1e74c


Workaround:

echo 'install_items=" ps grep cat rm "' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/50-no-vi.conf
