I confirmed this doesn't affect an ISO install, so it's likely specific to us doing something like this bit in the cloud kickstart:
```
# Additional drivers for vmware and hyperv
echo 'add_drivers+="mptspi vmw_pvscsi "' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/vmware-fusion-drivers.conf
echo 'add_drivers+="hv_storvsc hv_netvsc "' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/hyperv-drivers.conf
# Rerun dracut for the installed kernel (not the running kernel):
KERNEL_VERSION=$(rpm -q kernel --qf '%{V}-%{R}.%{arch}\n')
dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$KERNEL_VERSION.img $KERNEL_VERSION
```
Hm, no this did happen to me with an ISO install. Something (most likely in Anaconda code) is using librpm and hence creating /var/lib/rpm in the installer, before the symlink is set up. *** Bug 1464363 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1464376 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
