Description Mike Burns 2010-12-15 14:41:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Upstream commit introduced dependency on less, but it is not listed as a dependency in the spec file.  

http://dracut.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=dracut/dracut;a=commit;h=4592b6983a8a3879f75010629a0f6823eac912c0

This causes mkinitrd to fail:

E: Failed to install less
mkinitrd failed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-008-0.10.gitb2415f4.fc15.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
E: Failed to install less
mkinitrd failed



Expected results:
Successful completion

Additional info:
In my situation, we are calling create-livecd to generate an iso file.  The mkinitrd is being called from there.

This upstream patch should make the install of less optional, and will not require a hard dependency.
