Description Mads Kiilerich 2010-12-30 16:01:47 UTC 
When creating a livecd I got

  Installing: plymouth-scripts             ##################### [388/468] 
  Installing: libdrm                       ##################### [389/468] 
  Installing: plymouth                     ##################### [390/468]Need 'inst' function, try setting PLYMOUTH_POPULATE_SOURCE_FUNCTIONS to a file that defines it
warning: /etc/dracut.conf created as /etc/dracut.conf.rpmnew
 
  Installing: dracut                       ##################### [391/468] 
  Installing: kernel                       ##################### [392/468] 

The message comes when plymouth %post runs /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-generate-initrd (from plymouth-scripts) and doesn't find /usr/share/dracut/dracut-functions (from dracut which haven't been installed yet).

dracut also requires plymouth, so I guess some refactoring is required to remove this (essentially) circular dependency.

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2011-03-25 11:11:28 UTC 
The other way would be to run /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-generate-initrd in %posttrans ?
Comment 2 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2011-04-14 16:26:37 UTC 
I confirm that the error disappear if using %posttrans
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2999513

This was testing during a kickstart install (using SpaceWalk).
