Package: multipath-tools
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I'm SystemImager developper, a software that is based on dracut.
SystemImager is an imaging software mainly targetted at cluster
deployment. As such it makes use of multipathd if required. dracut is
shipped with a multipathd module, unfortunately, multipath-tools has
dependancies that will conflict with dracut while it is unnecessary.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Installed multipath-tools using:
apt-get install --no-install-suggests multipath-tools
* What was the outcome of this action?
dracut was replaced with initramfs-tools because sg3-utils-udev is
required by multipath-tools and sg3-utils-udev conflicts with
dracut
* What outcome did you expect instead?
It should be possible to install multipath-tools and use it with
dracut. In other words, it should be possible to do:
apt-get install multipath-tools dracut
