Today when I ran zypper dup to openSUSE Tumbleweed  20171019-0 -> 20171023-0 "dracut" ran no fewer then FOUR times. There is no need for this to happen with ANY dup.

If something needs "dracut" to be run have it run ONCE at the end of the dup. Surely a flag can be set for this.

It could be done as a post-transaction trigger, probably as a file trigger.

If a zypper run aborts, and dracut has not been run when it was needed, will the system still be bootable?

I don't see why an older kernel could not be selected. If zypper crashes half way through it can be rerun (zypper) after booting to CLI and if not there are more serious problems with the system. -- Ken Schneider -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Even if it would, none of these packages are essential (beside the kernel eventually). Since the whole thing is a "transaction" anyway, aborting in the middle leaves an inconsistent system behind. It may work by luck, most of the time.

These packages are just broken. They must be converted to %postrans.

dracut run immediately after kernel installation is intentional (should be somewhere in archives, I asked this a while ago). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
