Bug#1056382: closed by Debian FTP Masters (reply to Thomas Lange ) (Bug#1056382: fixed in dracut 103-2)

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Hi Thomas,

I can't reproduce this in a minimal debvm:

$ debvm-create -r testing -- --include=dracut
$ debvm-run
# inside
$ lsinitrd /initrd.img | grep poweroff
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           16 Sep 11 15:20 usr/sbin/poweroff -> 
../bin/systemctl

So I guess this is no longer needed.

Can you please drop the dependency or make it init | systemd?

Cheers Jochen

Package: dracut-core
Severity: normal

When attempting to install dracut inside a chroot while libpam-systemd wasn't installed, dracut showed an error message and the resulting image was unbootable.

```
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'poweroff'
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'reboot'
dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'halt'

dracut: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D

/tmp/user/0/dracut.Yir3ea/initramfs -a umount poweroff reboot halt losetup stat sleep timeout

+ dracut --no-hostonly --kver 6.1.0-13-amd64 --fstab --add-fstab

/etc/fstab --force --reproducible

```

Now upon reflection, it might have nothing to do with libpam-systemd.

Should init installation be declared explicit as a 'Depends: init'?

Alternatively, package systemd-sysv provides:

- poweroff
- reboot
- halt





**Distribution used**
Debian bookworm.

**Dracut version**
059

**Init system**

Is dracut-core useful without /sbin/poweroff installed? If yes, the 'Depends: init' should not be added to the Debian dracut-core package. In that case, the dracut package perhaps should add 'Depends: init' because certainly without init, dracut cannot boot the system?
