Description Antonio Feijoo 2022-09-01 10:35:41 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1202351 +++

Upstream support removed in March 2021 (https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/43df4ee2) and deprecation announcement on factory mailing list in May 2021 (https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/GDAZ7TVXS2BAXENVBAMHVXVHLSR7D7NQ/).

ALP will not ship the mkinitrd wrapper, so it's better to get rid of it in Tumbleweed first.
