3rd Party Package Dependencies

[Seidel Peter]

He,

to install th packages in the %post script is what we want to avoid. We had that in an early RHEL4 installation and it was "working". But now we are quite happy to got rid of it.

If there won't be any other possibility, we have do it like this again.

Anyway, thank you for your suggestions

Peter

	Wouldn't that keep the RPM database locked by the package being
installed and running %post scripts?

	Regards

The dependencies aren't set probably by the Distributors. Result is, that the Packages, which are running some shell scripts, are getting installed even before Coreutils and that goes terribly wrong.
