<!--beginarticle-->
<PRE>The setup package contains /etc/group and friends, but when installing a
chroot, it is not installed until after some packages which require the
default groups it defines (e.g. sysvinit-legacy-tools requires the tty
group yet it is installed before setup.
Now here comes the tricky part... As part of the very first transaction
which includes filesystem and glibc, dash-static is pulled in.
dash-static requires the "mail" group defined by setup package.
So really glibc requires dash-static which requires setup which requires
glibc and shadow-utils and run-parts...
Do we really want to add this loop?
I'd suggest we should rejig setup to not have a hard require on glibc,
shadow-utils and run-parts but still run it's current scripts if the
needed binaries/tools are installed (i.e. on package upgrade) and then
rejig dash-static to Require(pre): setup. This should ensure things are
installed properly (I think - although not sure how this will affect the
initial transaction split...)
Any other/better thoughts?
