Description Frantisek Sumsal 2020-08-24 11:10:35 UTC

Description of problem:
The plymouth package in RHEL 8.3 ships a broken symlink /usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target.wants/plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services with target ../plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services. The unit file, which should the symlink point to, is ../plymouth-switch-root-initramf.service (without the trailing 's').

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plymouth-0.9.4-4.20200615git1e36e30.el8.x86_64

Actual results:
# ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target.wants/plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 Jul 20 16:03 /usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target.wants/plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services -> ../plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services
## Try to dereference the symlink
# ls -lL /usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target.wants/plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target.wants/plymouth-switch-root-initramf.services': No such file or directory

Expected results:
The symlink should point to /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-switch-root-initramfs.service
