Are you making proper use of Requires(post): ? If I understand it correctly, removal ordering and install ordering is all inside rpm itself, not yum. Yum just hands rpm a transaction list, rpm figures out what order to do it in. You have to give rpm hints if you need things for %pre and %post so that it can get the ordering correct. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (jkeating.livejournal.com) Fedora Project (fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
