Ok, now I see what you mean. (except that there's no reason there'd be less in fedora-usermgmt than shadow-utils, if fedora-usermgmt is a replacement it needs to copy all of it...) > You try to hide the dependency, which moves the missing > "Requires: fedora-usermgmt" into nowhere, so admin must take care even more > than before. No, I try to have something consistent. So far, we have: - Core that uses useradd - part of Extras that uses useradd - part of Extras that uses fedora-usermgmt So, even if all of Extras is forcefully converted to fedora-usermgmt, we'll still have Core packages not obeying its setup. My scheme would allow to have some harmony all-over. Maybe it's too brutal. Maybe some trick like is done for sendmail and lp would be ok. But that also requires the Core part to cooperate...
