Description of problem: /sbin/makedumpfile depends on files in /usr but /usr needs not to be available (mounted) when /sbin binaries are used. From FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SBINSYSTEMBINARIES) "/sbin contains binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing the system in addition to the binaries in /bin." There are several options: 1) If makedumpfile is not essential, it should be moved to /usr/sbin 2) If makedumpfile has to stay in /sbin, then it must be able to run without /usr mounted, i.e. the dependencies have to be moved from /usr/lib* to /lib*, or linked statically. 3) If neither of the above is possible (desirable), the exception has to be justified and documented fo further reference (so far I haven't found any relevant docs). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kexec-tools-2.0.0-145.el6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run the test /CoreOS/libtirpc/Sanity/bz558937-sbin-dependencies-in-usr Actual results: :: [ FAIL ] :: File /sbin/makedumpfile (from kexec-tools-2.0.0-145.el6.x86_64) depends on /usr :: [ INFO ] :: The affected dependencies: :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libdw.so.1 (from elfutils-libs-0.148-1.el6.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libelf.so.1 (from elfutils-libelf-0.148-1.el6.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/liblzma.so.0 (from xz-libs-4.999.9-0.3.beta.20091007git.el6.x86_64) Expected results: (no such failures) Additional info:
