When your initscripts do not work without /etc/init.d/functions and the initscripts are an essential part of your package (e.g. not sample %doc), you have to add corresponding Requires: entries. > So my question : As long as the Requires(...) for the scriplets are fine > in order to get the package properly installed, updated and erased, do > we still need to add that explicit requirement? It depends how far we want to abuse rpm bugs/missing features. With current rpm, it is fine to add only the tagged Requires(...) because they implicate an untagged Requires: too. The feature, that deps from Requires(post/preun): can be removed after installation, and will be reinstalled at removal, is not implemented, afaik.
