Register this repository in your kickstart file, and add 'fedora-usermgmt-my' to the %files section. Due to its shorter name it wins against 'fedora-usermgmt-shadow-utils' (which applies the non-predictable behaviour by default). When there are proper deps (which should be the case when using the recommended macros), this customization happens before any package is installed which uses fedora-usermgmt. > It's a bit of circular logic.

As said above: abuse the rpm behaviour to prefer shorter names... Enrico -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
