I am using rpm package manager.  It causes a conflict when a file is 
already installed by another package.
You then have to remove one of them from one of the packages.

There isn't a "groups" executeable installed by shadow.
I could list the files installed by shadow and coreutils here if needed

On my builds I just rm the duplicate file from one of the packages 
before it is packaged up by rpm so I don't have to edit any of the 
Makefiles.

For the book the later package will over write the earlier package, and 
you will not know the over write has occurred.
