[opensuse-packaging] advanced requirements

Hi,

I've got a problem I'm not sure how to solve with RPM dependencies.

The following scenario:

package A------
package C
package B------


Package C supplements package A and B
Packages A and B are independent
Packages A and B must not have hard requirements to C

Now the harder part:
If package C is to be installed its version must match a certain feature
provided by A and B. Actually I'm speaking about an API version.
So A and C have to match as well as B and C.

For people wanting to look at a real life example:
I'm talking about mozilla-xulrunner191 and mozilla-xulrunner191-kde4.
There already are supplements, requires and provides as needed to match
two packages (A and C) but now a new package B comes into the game.

I'm really confused already about it.

Any hints?


Wolfgang
