Yep: a dependency LOOP with all edges in the LOOP ignored for ordering purposes. So put /etc/passwd (and group) into FHS … the only requirement is that /etc/passwd (and group) must be installed before any package that uses user:group other than root:root (or what is hardwired in RPM itself). Alternatively, put /etc (and /) into the setup package so that the parent-dir sep is resolved. There shouldn't be a problem if multiple packages own a single directory: rmdir(2) fails on non-empty directories and errno is ignored. 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
