It only breaks dracut-network (<< 057+157-2). Can you please tell me what correct way is to fix it.
Some files moved from -network to -core (the files that were in both packages in yesterdays bug). In order to properly handle that on upgrades, you need both versioned Breaks and Replaces. The Replaces s.t. dpkg will move file ownership if -core gets unpacked first, the Breaks to prevent partial upgrades (and subsequent partial removals or downgrades, that's where the fun usually starts) of the packages involved in the file move.
