Public bug reported: The package dracut cannot be installed on Ubuntu 12.10 as it conflicts with the initramfs-tools package. Due to the conflict, the package dracut can never be installed as initramfs-tools cannot be removed.
In an answer to my question regarding this problem on askUbuntu [1] the answer was, that dracut and initramfs-tools should both depend on linux- initramfs-tools (which is a virtual package provided by both initramfs- tools and dracut). [1] http://askubuntu.com/questions/248970/how-to-install-dracut-on- ubuntu-12-10 I just checked on another installation and dracut is installing fine on Ubuntu 12.04.1.
