FTR, I tried building systemd's mkosi image locally (i.e. with true zypper, not dnf like CI) and it fails too although via softhsm package: > (291/379) Installing: shadow-4.16.0-3.1.x86_64 .............................................................................................................................................[done] > Updating /etc/sysconfig/console ... > Updating /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ... > (292/379) Installing: kbd-2.6.4-5.1.x86_64 .................................................................................................................................................[done] > (293/379) Installing: update-bootloader-1.21-1.1.x86_64 ....................................................................................................................................[done] > /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6XQA6w: line 1: /usr/sbin/sysusers2shadow: No such file or directory > error: %prein(softhsm-2.6.1+git.1732869438.f7883c2-1.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 > error: softhsm-2.6.1+git.1732869438.f7883c2-1.1.x86_64: install failed > (294/379) Installing: softhsm-2.6.1+git.1732869438.f7883c2-1.1.x86_64 .....................................................................................................................[error] > Installation of softhsm-2.6.1+git.1732869438.f7883c2-1.1.x86_64 failed: > Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 1. I still wonder what caused they cycle unresolvability. I noticed a change to the initrd image definition [1] but that doesn't seem to have an effect in my case. (I know there's deps rework ongoing, so really sharing only for the reference.)
