So in that sense Requires(post) is in fact more correct than plain Requires. It really does need its own dependency type to be handled correctly though: %posttrans dependencies should not be taken into account on ordering, and it should be possible to remove such dependencies after installation (provided that nothing else depends on them of course). %posttrans dependencies only need to guarantee the dependency doesn't get removed in the same transaction. - Panu - -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
