Description Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2016-02-17 12:52:01 UTC

Description of problem:

When trying to remove abrt from installed system you end up removing dracut-network in the process due to dependency's

# rpm -q --whatrequires dracut-network
kexec-tools-2.0.10-4.fc23.x86_64
# rpm -q --whatrequires kexec-tools
abrt-addon-vmcore-2.7.1-1.fc23.x86_64

Should not the kdump dracut modules that reside in kexec-tools be packed as a separated sub component of dracut?  

Is there any particular reason why dracut is not packaging each of it's modules in a separated sub component of dracut ( dracut-module-$FOO )?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf remove abrt
2. rpm -q --whatrequires dracut-network
3. rpm -q --whatrequires kexec-tools

Actual results:

Removing abrt removes dracut-networkd

Expected results:

removal of uncessary junk like abrt should not result in removal of core component like initrd in the distribution

Additional info:

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2016-02-17 14:48:09 UTC

kexec-tools needs/wants dracut-network if the kdump target is on network. IMHO, this dependency is bogus anyway.

The real problem here, though, is that dnf removes leaves, which are not needed anymore automatically.

So, abrt-addon-vmcore requires kexec-tools, which requires dracut-network.
Because nothing else requires dracut-network, dnf thinks it can remove dracut-network, too.

Reassigning to dnf.

Can you explain how this relates to packagekit since I dont use packagekit to install update components, which this the link bug seems to be about?
