Actually, it looks like on Rawhide this is actually expected since systemd 258 which just landed in F43 and Rawhide according to the changelog at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v258: * Support for System V style system state control has been removed: - The /dev/initctl device node has been removed. - The initctl, runlevel, and telinit commands have been removed. - Support for system state control via the init command (e.g. 'init 3') has been removed. - The units runlevel[0-6].target have been removed. - The concept of runlevels has been removed, so runlevel transitions are no longer recorded in the utmp/wtmp databases. So only F42 is actually affected. Given the fact that nobody has complied so far, I'm going to close this as WON'T DO.
