Description Petr Pisar 2010-10-22 13:47:26 UTC 
According bug #566360, vconfig package is scheduled for removal from
distribution in favor of iproute2. dracut-network package has been identified as
requiring vconfig at run-time.

Please fix your package to not depend on vconfig. If your package provides
scripts for RHEL initscripts, contact `initscripts' component maintainer (bug #566485).
Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2010-10-26 10:15:22 UTC 
Is vconfig included in iproute2? Or is there a similar tool?
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2010-10-26 10:31:54 UTC 
vconfig is to drop. iproute2 package contains comprehensive ip(8) utility that is able to set VLANs on its own.

There is short example on vconfig homepage <http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html>. For more details refer to ip(8) manual or ask iproute2 package maintainer (psabata).

With older version:

$ rpm -q dracut-network
dracut-network-004-33.2.el6_0.noarch
$ rpm -qR dracut-network | grep vconfig
vconfig 


With newer version:

# rpm -q dracut-network
dracut-network-004-38.el6.noarch
# rpm -qR dracut-network | grep vconfig



Dependency on vconfig has been removed.
