&gt;&gt;<i> The setup package contains /etc/group and friends, but when installing a

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> group yet it is installed before setup.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Now here comes the tricky part... As part of the very first transaction

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> dash-static requires the &quot;mail&quot; group defined by setup package.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So really glibc requires dash-static which requires setup which requires
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> glibc and shadow-utils and run-parts...

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Do we really want to add this loop?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I'd suggest we should rejig setup to not have a hard require on glibc,

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> needed binaries/tools are installed (i.e. on package upgrade) and then
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> rejig dash-static to Require(pre): setup. This should ensure things are
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> installed properly (I think - although not sure how this will affect the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> initial transaction split...)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Any other/better thoughts?

rewrite glibc scriptlets in lua instead of sh
