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:

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
