How on earth do you get things installed w/o setup first? glibc -> basesystem -> setup.
*shrug* it's just anaconda doing it's package install to build the install image. Given that shadow-utils doesn't mention setup at all, rpm can't possibly know that setup should come before shadow-utils.
Sure it does.
Package A has a Requires(pre) on shadow-utils. Hence, shadow-utils must be installed *and functional* before A is installed. This means shadow-utils and all its requirements.
From there it's a simple dependency chain - shadow-utils -> glibc
-> basesystem -> setup.
So, if it's not getting installed right, rpm or yum is broken in some way.
...or there's some funny new dependency loop somewhere, breaking the ordering.
And yes there are nasty loops: http://laiskiainen.org/tmp/fedora-rawhide-231208-loops.txt For a reproducer try: yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo=rawhide --installroot=<somewhere> install sed"
This is so not going to work: [pmatilai@localhost badorder]$ rpm -qp --scripts setup-2.7.5-3.fc11.noarch.rpm postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ `grep -c video /etc/group` -eq 0 ] ; then groupadd -g 39 video fi if [ `grep -c audio /etc/group` -eq 0 ] ; then groupadd -g 63 audio fi
[pmatilai@localhost badorder]$ rpm -qp --requires setup-2.7.5-3.fc11.noarch.rpm |grep -v rpmlib /bin/sh config(setup) = 2.7.5-3.fc11 grep
