I completely understand what your trying to do. It would be possible I am sure to order the running of the triggers by dependencies, but the normal package dependencies may not be sufficient in all cases, as the only dependency may be between the triggers themselves, and the normal package deps may be opposite or certainly conflicting with the trigger deps....hmm, but then how would they get installed in the right order that they would run together to begin with. Thinking further, then, I think sorting on package deps might just do the trick. Sounds like an RFE...james _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
