Well, he didn't say anything, I just looked at the log and tried to find
some tasks. So indeed, I didn't search prior art. 

&gt;<i> 1) /dev/null is created by makedev which is required by basesystem-minimal.

That's likely a ordering issue, related to the loops.

makedev is installed in the end, after python.

One package that requires /dev/null is perl-XML-SAX.

$ urpmq -d perl-XML-SAX
bash
dash-static
glibc
lib64termcap2
perl-XML-NamespaceSupport
perl-XML-SAX
perl-base

No requires on makedev nor basesystem-minimal.
So now, what requires perl-XML-SAX before basesystem-minimal is to
discuss.

Also, the usage of /dev/null in a %post is a ope question. Do we want to
hide some verbose stuff, or should error be show to user ?

&gt;<i> Since we haven't seen this error before, I would like to look how it
</I>&gt;<i> performed what he did.
</I>
I assume that's a simple basesystem installation. How exactly, that's
indeed a good question.
