3rd Party Package Dependencies

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

	Sorry, but as we were talking about virtual RPM, I asumed that you were
referring to the %post in RPM, not the %post in Kickstart ;)

	Regards

Don't know much about the internals of rpm database, but I would assume, for consistency purposes, that at install time the data base locks.  So when you do the `rpm -ihv ...` the database is locked.  however, This does not disallow you to install with the rpm command in the %post section.

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.
