Unless dracut provides exactly the same interfaces for hook scripts and update-initramfs (I assume neither is true), this is more than just "updating dependencies". Sure, updating deps will allow you to install dracut, but it won't actually build initrds correctly without some package mangling, I assume.
It makes a lot more sense to wait for most of this to filter down from Debian, especially as swapping dracut in place of initramfs-tools is certainly not something Ubuntu has any immediate plans to support. ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Low ** Changed in: kbd (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Wishlist ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist ** Changed in: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109029 Title: Depend on linux-initramfs-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1109029/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
