Its a packaging error... and i think the error message is particularly
clear as to what is going wrong. The initscript package is expecting
/bin/runuser to be provided by a package and it isnt. You have to
expect this to happen with development packages.
And this is already been filed in bugzilla. Please try to search for
problems in bugzilla as a matter of standard troubleshooting practice.

Another hint as to what is going on can be found by using the yum
provides command
yum provides /bin/runuser 
yum provides runuser
