But be extremely careful here, VERIFY that you still have a
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions after the upgrade before the next reboot. I
managed to severely shoot myself into the foot on upgrading
chkconfig/initscripts from the last rawhide to the current one. My system
was unbootable until I added init=/bin/sh to the kernel command line and
recreated /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions with rpm2cpio. rpm won't install it if
it's already in the database, since it's marked as missingok in the
initscripts spec, which is a questionable decision IMHO.
Franz.
