It is error prone. When I started working on reviving the games spin, I found several packages that used those kinds of scripts without the proper pre requirements. In normal use you wouldn't see a problem, but when building live images trying to run scripts before coreutils was installed tended to cause problems. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
