What is completely right.
quintela$ urpmf installkernel
initscripts:/etc/sysconfig/installkernel
initscripts:/sbin/installkernel
quintela$ urpmf /usr/sbin/rdev
util-linux:/usr/sbin/rdev
quintela$ rpm -qr initscrips | grep util-linux
rpm: arguments to --root (-r) must begin with a /
quintela$ rpm -qR initscrips | grep util-linux
package initscrips is not installed
quintela$ rpm -qR initscripts | grep util-linux
util-linux >= 2.10
kernel depends of installkernel (via initscripts)
initscripts depend of util-linux
util-linux provides rdev.
Note that this aditionally solves the problem of the archs that don't
need rdev.
Later, Juan.
