Maybe the pango packagers / upstream devs could answer why pango-tools is a "Requires(post)" and not a (simple) "Requires" to libpango.
Sure, that I can answer you: Requires: instructs zypper that the package needs to be installed in order for the USER to make use of the package. Requires(Post): means the package needs to be installed in order for the package manager to be able to execute the post Script. In the case of Pango, Requires(Post) is exactly the right thing: the 'post' script requires it; the library itself does not. As libpango never starts pango-querymodules, it does not depend on it (you can do the pango registration manually). For the specific case, I'd say the right thing would be for plymouth to specify that it requires pango-tools.. as it's plymouth' script that executes it.
