I thought Requires(pre) and friends are just for dependencies of the
scripts?
Yes, you usually want to ensure that script interpreteres are
installed prior to scriptel runtime :)
Can anyone state definitively (and preferably in plain English), if
I
have in the httpd-suexec subpackage:
PreReq: httpd
the files contained in said package will be installed only after the
%pre script of the httpd package has run?
That's the idea, you could test with
rpm -ihv httpd httpd-suexec
vs
rpm -ihv httpd-suexec httpd
Output should be in both cases the same (first httpd then
httpd-suexec), if you employ the above change.
