Issue with Requires in rpms, possible bug?

Post by CaViCcHi » 2017/07/11 17:52:23

Hi there,

I'm having an issue when installing some rpms that I put together, my issue is relative to Requires(pre).

In my suite there's a few hundreds of rpms and they all have their requires, but I am clashing with 2 particular packages A and B (I'll call them this way for ease)

Long story short is, A has in his spec file Requires(pre): B
B, doesn't have A in his requires list (nor anything it provides)

but during installation, no matter what, A is installed right before B. Even though A requires B at (pre)...

Are there any known bugs around Requires(pre)?

You'd have to show the actual output for anyone to help.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
