This bug is in dracut-041-14.fc22.x86_64. 50-dracut.install and 51-dracut-rescue.install use the shell "read" builtin incorrectly. This causes /bin/kernel-install to exit unsuccessfully, leading to RPM scriptlet failures when a kernel-core package is installed or updated. The problem is on these lines: 50-dracut.install 28: read -ar BOOT_OPTIONS < /proc/cmdline 51-dracut-rescue.install 48: read -ar BOOT_OPTIONS < /proc/cmdline "read -a" requires the array name to immediately follow. These lines aren't reading into the $BOOT_OPTIONS array; instead they're populating an array named $r. A subsequent test for $BOOT_OPTIONS being empty causes the *.install scripts to exit with failure. This bug has been fixed upstream: commit a6018700645a037e629d64ade52bb93bb7fb70ae Author: Harald Hoyer <harald> Date: Wed May 13 11:49:05 2015 +0200 5?-dracut*.install: better parsing of /proc/cmdline "read -r -d '' -a" does, what we want. It would be nice to have this commit backported to the dracut in Fedora.
