There is a _huge_ difference between req and prereq.
If one looks at the whole transaction (the complete install or the complete
upgrade), the difference becomes apparent:
Requires is a run-time dependency and says that _at the end of the transaction_
the required package has to be present.
Pre-Requires is an install-time dependency and says that _when the requiring
package is installed_ the required package has to be present.
This also affects the upgrade since the upgrade is also treated as one (big)
transaction so without the prereq the 10.2 version might still be installed but
there is no guarantee that its runable. The 10.2 util-linux probably depends on
a 10.2 glibc which is already upgraded to 10.3.
