Thanks for your hints ... I have investigated this some more and the problem is that "filesystem" actually get's installed via the host, but once the guest is running it is missing the yum data base on what is installed and what not, so any installation afterwards that has the dependency "filesystem" is reinstalling it (among many other things). Is it possible to transplant the yum state information to the guest - rsyncing the corresponding /var/cache directory to the guest does not seem to do the trick ... Thank you for your help.
