Build Identifier: 

kmod will fail running weak-modules referencing /sbin/dracut instead of /usr/bin/dracut

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run weak-modules or any kmod command that calls weak-modules
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
root> weak-modules
weak-modules: this tool requires a dracut-enabled kernel

Expected Results:  
non-error exit

workaround: ln -s /usr/bin/dracut /usr/sbin/dracut

Harald, it looks like you dropped the sbin compat symlink with Fedora commit ca29758ec2376c3960bdae90e65564d959a70130 which was the update to dracut 042.  Was that intentional?

I can change kmod to look in /usr/bin/ unconditionally and it should still work, but I was surprised this changed in f23.
