Hi,

Simple thing. The spec file for drbd-utils (drbd.spec.in) uses the "seq" 
command from coreutils. However, there is no rpm dependency towards 
coreutils. Meaning that the installation could fail if drbd-utils tried 
to install before coreutils.

Would it be possible to add coreutils as a dependency or change the code 
so it uses bash or perhaps a POSIX style loop (as the executor is /bin/sh)?

Best Regards
Richard
