[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Native sysusers support is missing dependencies (Issue #2697)

[Panu Matilainen]

Oh and of course, it *is* all very very different from what user/group handling in rpm has traditionally been. You need to just unlearn that all :smile: 

The key difference really is that with the sysuser integration, the rpm running the transaction is what does the work and contains any tooling dependencies, whereas in the traditional model it's the packageset being installed that get to do the work.  So instead of adding more shadow-utils deps and the like, you instead get to *remove* those deps from the packages. And, like said, you can now have arbitrary users starting from the very first package being installed because the user/group tooling doesn't need to be bootstrapped first in that environment.
