So, this is when I use "Requires(post)",

To keep Requires and Requires(post) in sync you can use rpmrebuild
(http://rpmrebuild.sf.net)
First you build your package as usual.
Then you use rpmrebuild to rebuild package. You'll need to write
plugin for --change-spec-requires.

Right. I never thought of that.
This does seems like a rather roundabout way of going about it,
though, and I was really hoping for some sort of support within
rpmbuild itself.
But actually, I can't seem to reproduce the original problem now, i.e.
when I retry the installation, the packages are installed in the
"correct" order without Requires(pre). And many this is what I should
expect; rpm does try to order packages according to (normal) Requires
these days, doesn't it.
Yet I'm quite sure that it somehow decided to install the package
using certain libs after the ones providing them when I tested this
earlier.
I'm confused ;-(
... confused enough to get the above bit the wrong way around. What I
meant to say, was that a package requiring some libs was somewhat
unexpectedly installed first of all even though rpms providing the libs
were specified on the same command line.
