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. Bill -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
