Much badness; does your package list those as dependencies? (or just
coreutils as a whole?)

I really ought to check up on the current status of this, but there
is/was a bug in anaconda which didn't realise when package orders were
messed up, and the workaround was to call "genhdlist; pkgorder;
genhdlist" with some flags. How did you build the custom CD (genhdlist
specifically)?
