NO: PreReq were not introduced because of cyclic dependencies. It is not a hint
indicating that one package should be installed before an other.
'PreReq OpenOffice_org' says: OpenOffice_org must be usable(!) in order to
install OpenOffice_org-icon-themes.
Being usable means, OpenOffice_org AND ALL it's REQUIREMENTS(recursively!) must
be installed. I.e. a complete system being able to run each binary included in
OpenOffice_org must be installed before we can install
openOffice_org-icon-themes.
And OpenOffice_org requires this system to include openOffice_org-icon-themes.
As the cyclic dependencies prevent us from finding a legal solution, we
have to violate some dependency. From zypps point of view there is no guarantee
that dropping the requirement would have lead to a successful installation of
openOffice_org-icon-themes. You as maintainer know that it would have worked,
but zypp does not know which parts of OpenOffice_org are actually used at
openOffice_org-icon-themes installtime. We guess (unfortunately nobody
recognizes if we do a good guess).
Only fixing the packages fixes the problem.
