RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Harald Hoyer 2015-05-18 12:54:30 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1118988 +++

I have been getting:

dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'vi'
dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/etc/virc'
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.8LBEMd -a vi /etc/virc ps grep cat rm

When installing kernel-3.15.4 and when I intalled kernel-3.15.3.

The computer seems to work fine. However, I don't belieive I should be getting this.

Please help me to resolve it.

Thanks

Getting similar too. Few months ago I ran:
yum remove vim-minimal-7.4.179-1.fc20.x86_64

And today during update:

This is affecting also mock builds when the kernel package is one of the dependencies. Rising severity since this make such builds to fail.

--- Additional comment from David Caro on 2015-05-11 02:30:19 EDT ---

As a workaround on mock, you can install the vim-minimal package manually before running it

--- Additional comment from Tuomo Soini on 2015-05-13 14:09:36 EDT ---

dracut should depend on vim-minimal.

Same problem in rhel7.

commit 54b68829b60bc3f4c28cfca1ab0336584fe1e74c


Workaround:

echo 'install_items=" ps grep cat rm "' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/50-no-vi.conf
