Better to not depend on the order of the packages installed. (OT: Unfortunately all current rpm versions still have the "random failure modes" you refer to, even in severn2. This is probably the reason for rpm not making it to errata. Unfortunately the bug is very difficult to reproduce, usually happens during large updates). -- Axel Thimm physik fu-berlin de
