Not in a good way that I can think of. You need to fix the problem where
it exists -- if you don't have the source RPM, ask the people who do to fix
it.


If the db package is missing dependencies, then that's the bestest fix.

If you must, you can retrofit the ordering requirement using 2 virtual packages.

Specify the libraray dependencies in, say, virtual package A.

Specify the db dependency in, say, virtual package B.

Then add to the B package
   Requires: A

Note: As long as you don't have dependency loops, there is no difference
whatsoever between Requires: and PreReq:, use either to taste.
