    Issues preventing migration:
    ∙ ∙ kiwi-dracut-oem-dump/riscv64 has unsatisfiable dependency


    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    kiwi-dracut-oem-dump : Depends: kexec-tools but it is not installable

    I'm aware of this, but there is not much I can do about it.

    I would consider it rather release-critical that an architecture doesn't
    have suppot for kexec rather than a package depending on kexec-tools.

    This is due to #1019254

    I'm aware of this bug. But despite it's popular support, no one in the riscv64
    community seems to be interested in actually adding kexec support there.

    Hello,

    just for the record, a patchset to bring support for ricv64 to kexec-tools upstream has just been posted on
