Description of problem: I was trying to remove initscripts, out of curiosity, on an f19 system; I found only that vte3 was my last dependent package on initscripts; after rebuilding it + removing the package, dracut produces the following: bash-4.2# dracut -f E: Directories consolefonts, consoletrans, keymaps, unimaps not found. Please inform us about the issue including your OS name and version. dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'pidof' E: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.Afke0S -a mount mknod mkdir pidof sleep chroot sed ls flock cp mv dmesg rm ln rmmod mkfifo umount readlink setsid I'm not sure about the first error, but the second appears to be because pidof is missing; perhaps dracut should not depend on this binary, or depend on the package providing it?

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
