In regard to: Re: installing order != dependencies ?, Jeff Johnson said (at...:
Remember that "Requires" isn't the same as "PreReq". Jeff can give
a better explanation, but if PackageA must be installed *before* PackageB,
rather than at the same time as PackageB, then try using "PreReq"
instead of "Requires".
Au contraire. Requires and PreReq are exactly the same *EXCEPT* when
dependency loops are present. Only Requres:, not PreReq: is ignored in
a dependency loop.
Thanks for clarifying! I've apparently been misinterpreting that for
years.
