** Description changed: - The package dracut cannot be installed on Ubuntu 12.10 as it conflicts - with the initramfs-tools package. Due to the conflict, the package - dracut can never be installed as initramfs-tools cannot be removed. - - In an answer to my question regarding this problem on askUbuntu [1] the - answer was, that dracut and initramfs-tools should both depend on linux- - initramfs-tools (which is a virtual package provided by both initramfs- - tools and dracut). - - [1] http://askubuntu.com/questions/248970/how-to-install-dracut-on- - ubuntu-12-10 + The package dracut cannot be installed as it conflicts with initramfs- + tools package. initramfs-tools is a dependency of many core packages and + cannot be removed without removing essential tools like the kernel. For + this reason, the package dracut can never be installed. I just checked on another installation and dracut is installing fine on Ubuntu 12.04.1.
