Details

Description:

At runtime, dracut[1] will invoke pkg-config (or the pkgconf wrapper in our case).
pkg-config is part for base-devel, so it may be missing in normal user installation.
When it's missing the respective hooks will misbehave.

[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/boot/dracut/dracut.git/tree/dracut.sh

Additional info:
* package version(s)
dracut 049-3

* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install dracut
2. Remove pkg-config (package is not part of base, so it's not a universal runtime requirement)
3. Regenerate the initrd
4. The system will fail to boot with the new initrd
This task depends upon
