Use %trigger scripts. In your mypackage spec file, add:
%triggerin -- other_package > 1.2
do something
%triggerin -- other_package <= 1.2
do something different
This will execute the scripts every time other_package is installed/updated
and also when your package is installed/upgraded and other_package was
already installed.
