Hello,
looks like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UsersAndGroups#Dynamic_allocation sets a precedent that "getent" utility can be taken for granted. Or is "Requires(pre): glibc-common" omitted just by accident?
What about a package that uses getent in an auxiliary script, is it any different? Should there rather be path-based dependency as used with systemd, "Requires: /usr/bin/getent"?
Thanks for guidance.
