Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 dracut : Conflicts: initramfs-tools but 0.140ubuntu13.2 is to be installed
 initramfs-tools : Conflicts: linux-initramfs-tool
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

You tried to install both the dracut and initramfs helpers, but the two different initrd generators Conflict with each other, so those instructions were always wrong.

Really, it's almost never the case that you want dracut on Debian or Ubuntu systems, so it should probably default to assuming that, with a note on what to change if that's not the case. I'll go try to work something saner up in the documentation.

In the interim, delete the openzfs-zfs-dracut package and try installing again.

Thanks. The install worked. Seems OK.

I now have two versions of zfs.ko

./6.5.0-21-generic/kernel/zfs/zfs.ko
./6.5.0-21-generic/extra/zcommon/zfs.ko

Is that OK?

I now have two versions of zfs.ko

./6.5.0-21-generic/kernel/zfs/zfs.ko
./6.5.0-21-generic/extra/zcommon/zfs.ko

Is that OK?

Yes, kernel is the one from Ubuntu.

I've added some info about dracut in doc, so I'll close this issue.
