Maybe an ordering issue?
Though in my mga1 to cauldron upgrade tests, ordering was OK
We would need update logs from people actually having the issue.

Although there does be some ordering issues:
- plymouth should requires mkinitrd
- kernels should require makedev & sound-scripts (for
/etc/modprobe.d/snd-oss.conf)
  (/etc/sysconfig/keyboard does't exit when doing a urpmi --urpmi-root test)

BTW initrd-desktop.img & the like links got blindly updated whereas
the initrd was
successfully generated or not.
We should test for file existence before symlinking IMHO...

See logs:
