Note that I'm not asking about the “installed” part, I just need the files to be in place. Is this an RPM limitation because it does not distinguish between the unpacked and installed case? (dpkg does, so this situation is totally deterministic there: for a regular dependency, when the postinst runs, you can rely on your dependencies having been unpacked, but *their* postinst may not have been run yet and they might be in an unconfigured state.)
