I have been working on packaging software into RPMs for my company. These
RPMs create directories in %post into which dependent RPMs install

yum prior to erasing the dependent packages. When the uninstall scripts
for the dependent packages run, they may fail due to files and directories
being missing that they expect from the main package leaving things in an
inconsistent state. Is this a bug or known behavior we need to account for
in some way?
Requires(postun) should do it.
That's really for a different case. That's when a program is needed to run
an uninstall script that the package doesn't need to normally function.
If the dependent packages have requires on the main package, the main
package shouldn't be removed until after the dependent package.
