You're right - it doesn't do this, quite intentionally, if yum did all of this then i'd be rewriting a lot of transaction ordering from rpm. The whole point in using the rpmlibs and ts.order() is to NOT rewrite all that. > You are talking to that maintainer. I maintain that postfix package and > have done that for some years now. Then you need to talk to the maintainer of rpm, b/c there isn't anything in yum to fix this, if it is broken. -sv
