Description Jay Faulkner 2024-11-08 00:46:54 UTC
During a recent upgrade of dracut (and it is reproducible with `emerge -1 dracut` at will in my current system state), I got the following errors about symlink installations being blocked by a directory:

>>> Installing (1 of 1) sys-kernel/dracut-105::gentoo
 * 
 * Installation of a symlink is blocked by a directory:
 *   '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/80test-makeroot'
 * This symlink will be merged with a different name:
 *   '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/80test-makeroot.backup.0001'
 * 
 * 
 * Installation of a symlink is blocked by a directory:
 *   '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/80test-root'
 * This symlink will be merged with a different name:
 *   '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/80test-root.backup.0001'
 * 
 * 
 * Installation of a symlink is blocked by a directory:
 *   '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/80test'
 * This symlink will be merged with a different name:
 *   '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/80test.backup.0001'
 * 


Every initramfs built by this installation of dracut is unable to mount root, it appears to be unable to mount root (stuck-ish at "A start job is running for /dev/mapper/vg0-root"). Given the errors are around files named makeroot/root, it seemingly is a smoking gun?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 dracut
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
>>> Installing (1 of 1) sys-kernel/dracut-105::gentoo
 * 
 * Installation of a symlink is blocked by a directory:

 * This symlink will be merged with a different name:

 * 

Expected Results:  
Symlink installation works?

Noting that while the conflict is fixed, I'm still not getting a working initramfs out of this new version of dracut. I will dig deeper and troubleshoot and open another bug if I can pinpoint the issue.
