Bugs and Vulnerability Issues
Installing a basic test Fedra 42 VM from scratch with the Kata Containers 3.21 RPM and trying to activate the kata-osbuilder-generate.service fails due to a missing dependency on dbus-daemon (apparently through dracut).

It's unclear why the dependency should be on Kata and not dracut directly.
