You may want to look into requires(pre) in the docs > in rpm.org. Thanks for your quick answer. According to http://rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/Dependencies#ScriptletDependencies Using "Requires(pre)" would be a hack (in the sense of "it's not designed for this"), wouldn't it ? I think it's more safe to consider modifying 'bar' package in order to make it depends of 'foo' Thanks for your help, Manuel _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
