fedupdebug.log, the log file run from fedup

Description of problem:

Fedup tool for upgrading Fedora release downloading superfluous components "initscripts.x86_64 for u" and "initscripts.x86_64 for ud"

from fedupdebug.log:
"
[    17.995] (DD) fedup.depsolve:pkgAdded() added initscripts.x86_64 for ud
[    18.004] (DD) fedup.depsolve:pkgAdded() added initscripts.x86_64 for u
"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
64 bit Linux Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle" running fedup version 0.7.2 release 1.fc17 (noarch)

How reproducible:

Happened on 2 different machines running the same program and OS
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fedup via yum
2.  run sudo fedup-cli --network 18 --debuglog fedupdebug.log
3.  confirm in fedupdebug.log
  
Actual results:

Does not necessarily affect system, but is a superfluous download

Expected results:

Faster, cleaner Fedora 18 install, without superfluous downloads
Additional info:

Fedora has been runnning systemd for quite some time now, so downloading initscript

Comment 1 Will Woods 2013-01-25 19:34:45 UTC
What makes you think the 'initscripts' package is superfluous?

1) The 'initscripts' package actually contains all the fedora-specific systemd units - there are, in fact, no SysV init scripts in it.

2) If it was *actually* superfluous, it would be formally obsoleted by another package, and it wouldn't be downloaded by fedup.
