Calling dracut to generate an initramfs produces the following log message before the regular output: /usr/bin/dracut: line 557: [: ==: unary operator expected As far as I can tell the cause of the error message didn't have any influence on the created images for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-kernel/dracut 2. Call dracut to generate an initramfs, e.g. # /usr/bin/dracut "" 3.13.4-gentoo Actual Results: # /usr/bin/dracut "" 3.13.4-gentoo /usr/bin/dracut: line 557: [: ==: unary operator expected Executing: /usr/bin/dracut 3.13.4-gentoo Could not find program "dhclient" required by network.

It is parsing commandline arguments at that point, and someone forgot the quotes.

Yes, this was already mentioned in another bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501694#c1

I'm sorry to reopen, but although the patch file exists now, it isn't in the patch list of dracut-036-r2.ebuild.
