Description:

The install script uses these binaries: grep, groupadd, useradd, systemd-tmpfiles

It should depend on these packages to satisfy those dependencies: grep, shadow, systemd

Version: redis-2.8.13-1
This task depends upon

Under what real circumstances does this actually fail?

It may not be common, but installing it along with the rest of the system breaks the install script since the install process won't order things correctly. Even if it's rare, it's a possibility, and seems like a good idea to list out the dependencies.

grep, shadow are in base group
systemd-sysvcompat is in base group and it depends on systemd

base group is not added into deps, if you remove parts of base group, you should maintain dependencies manually.

Sigh, I feel this argument comes up repeatedly. Is it so difficult to have the package accurately reflect it's dependencies? Note I'm not removing parts of the base group, I'm just installing redis _along with_ the base group. `bash` is the only listed dependency, which is also in base. To be pedantic, redis also depends on glibc.
