[opensuse-factory] Does zypper dup respect RPM Require(pre|post)?
During zypper dup from M4 to B1 I notice that installation order was grub2-i386-pc grub2 Now grub2.spec has %package %{grubarch} Summary: Bootloader with support for Linux, Multiboot and more Group: System/Boot Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} Requires(post): %{name} = %{version}-%{release} Do I misunderstand what Requires(post) does or zypper ignores requirements indeed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It looks to me like there's a cyclic dependency. grub2 itself has: Requires: grub2-%{grubarch} = %{version}-%{release} So, in which order should they be installed?

This ensures that grub2-%arch is installed on update from older package that did not use arch subpackages. Why is it a loop? It just says that two must be installed together. How can it be expressed differently?
So, in which order should they be installed?
grub2 grub2-%arch Should not Requires(post): %{name} = %{version}-%{release} make sure that they are installed in this order?

No it does not ignore requirements. Check the zypper/YaST log, it should contain lines about cyclic dependencies. It tries not to break Prereq (i.e. Requires(post)) dependencies, though. Oh wait, it's not recorded as a prereq in the repository metadata! So it seems like there's a bug in the metadata creation tool (aka "create_package_descr").
