Latter is a spec file which should be used to create a package for a<br>
local repository. Register this repository in your kickstart file, and<br>
add 'fedora-usermgmt-my' to the %files section. Due to its shorter<br>
name it wins against 'fedora-usermgmt-shadow-utils' (which applies the<br>
non-predictable behaviour by default).</blockquote><div><br>AFICT, this is Untrue, rpm don't do so. <br><br>rpm use a topological sorting in install, eg partial ordering based - it will be non deterministic only with dependency loop. See this example<br>
