ok not to spoil the party but.. what should be the semantics of this?
Verify this at rpm -i time only ?
What if the condition changes later on while the rpm is installed and
now the Requires: (or worse, the Conflicts: ) changes so that the
installed rpm set is a noncoherent/non-closed (or whatever you want to
call that) set ?
Do you want this for Provides: too? And how does that deal with the
second question ?
I can see good reasons to not want to go down this antnest of issues ;)
