Bug#664678: dracut: Error message "Directories consolefonts, consoletrans, keymaps not found"

March 19th, 2012 - 04:00 pm ET by Tom H | Report spam
Package: dracut
Version: 017-1
Severity: normal

* What led up to the situation?
dracut -f initramfs-3.2.0-1-amd64.img $(uname -r)

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Nothing. Just created an initrd.

* What was the outcome of this action?
Error message during the creation of the initrd:
"E: Directories consolefonts, consoletrans, keymaps not found. Please inform us about the issue including your OS name and version."

* What outcome did you expect instead?
No error message.

If dracut depended on console-data, the error wouldn't appear.

This error message disappears if you install the package console-data.
IMO this is more a minor bug, since the initrd is still created.
