Well, that's not an rpm dependency; libgpm.so merely needs to

the corequisites of a prerequisite should also be
prerequisites, I would think. If not, that sounds like a
bug.)
The basic dependency -is- observed; in other words, I can't
install mysql without also installing ncurses and gpm. But the install
order isn't right. Mysql has this dependency 'Requires(post): ncurses'.
To enable something in the mysql package to really use the ncurses
library during the %post script, ncurses -and- gpm must be installed
before mysql...
Then no, the dependency isn't correctly met.
Does 'Prereq: ncurses' make a difference?
