How do you run pkgorder, anyway?  Python doesn't even have manpages,
but I figured out enough to do:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder /usr/local/redhat-7.2 i386

which gets me only:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder", line 41, in ?
    arch = arch, matchAllLang = 1)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 542, in __init__
    self.readCompsFile(file, self.packages)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 452, in readCompsFile
    (default, l) = split(l, None, 1)
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size

Note that my comps file hasn't been changed from what ships on the CD.
Anyway, I think my current setup has the file ordering all screwed up,
as I see things like:

Installing dump.
group disk does not exist - using root
 
Installing sash.
Installing setup.

Note that /etc/group is part of the setup package.  Other packages
complain because their postinstall scripts can't run "rm".
