I did a world update today and saw following error messages with dracut:
| Code: |

not sure why but there were empty 80test* directories under /usr/lib/dracut/modules;
| Code: |
theoffice /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d # ls -alF | grep test
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 2 22:01 80test/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 13 23:10 80test.backup.0000 -> ../test/modules.d/80test/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 2 22:01 80test-makeroot/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Oct 13 23:10 80test-makeroot.backup.0000 -> ../test/modules.d/80test-makeroot/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 2 22:01 80test-root/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Oct 13 23:10 80test-root.backup.0000 -> ../test/modules.d/80test-root/

deleted 80test* directories and symlinks, re-emerging dracut seems to have resolved the issue.
| Code: |
theoffice /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d # ls -alF | grep test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 13 23:10 80test -> ../test/modules.d/80test/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Oct 13 23:10 80test-makeroot -> ../test/modules.d/80test-makeroot/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Oct 13 23:10 80test-root -> ../test/modules.d/80test-root/
theoffice /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d #
|
has anyone encountered a similar issue?

| Note that I don't think they were errors, but warnings (even though they showed up in red). It does say it will merge them with a different name. |

It's harmless, you can remove the dead symlinks if you want. You don't need these modules anyway, they are only used for running the tests.
It's caused by upstream moving a directory into the spot where a symlink to that same directory used to be.
