Default package installation can install a lot of packages, why should I use %post to install packages when there exists a method which is designed to install packages? I do not understand the sense of this discussion: when a scriptlet uses a program, a corresponding Requires(...) MUST exist for this program. There exist exceptions (e.g. for generating cache-files) but none of them apply here. We are speaking about Fedora Extras where 'Requires: fedora-usermgmt' can be fulfilled. This is a very minimal and non intrusive package without bad (technical) sideeffects. >> Some from-scratch installation methods (e.g. mock) do not have a %post >> phase either. > > And why won't plain useradd work in those cases? Dunno, this enumeration was not complete. What is with Xen- or chroot-environment bootstrapping? Enrico
