Also, jump on the HP ITRC forums and tell them that it's screwed up.
They're pretty good at fixing their screwup's.

	If the package is wrong and can't be modified, the most reasonable
solution is just to run rpm in a %post script to install it manually.

		Use Requires(pre) or Requires(post) in your package if it
uses grep.
		This will ensure ordering so that grep is installed before
your package.
