From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-12 i686) kernel-2.4.2-2 depends on initscripts >= 3.64. kernel's postinstall script runs /sbin/mkkerneldoth, which does not exist until somewhere between initscripts-5.49-1 and initscripts-5.83-1. So if you are upgrading both kernel and initscripts, kernel might be updated first, and its postinstall script will fail. Please fix the dependency to be on initscripts >= 5.83 (or some earlier version which has been verified to contain mkkerneldoth). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Upgrade kernel without upgrading initscripts, or upgrade kernel and initscripts at the same time but list kernel first.
The kernel has the proper dependencies; however they are ignored
Up until rpm-4.0.2-8, there was dependency "white-out", removed now. Back to you for further processing ...
Luckily, you normally ever do this..... I'll close this as fixed in rawhide as it will be for newer RPMs... If you disagree, please reopen this bug.
