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

frr-7.0-5.el8

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install frr in RHEL8 instance without the initscripts package installed. In this case it was a docker container based on registry.redhat.io/ubi8-init
2. Ensure "zebra=yes" in /etc/frr/daemons
3. systemctl enable --now frr 
4. systemctl status frr

Actual results:

FRR fails to start due to error:

/usr/lib/frr/frr: line 40: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory

Expected results:

FRR starts
