That doesn't guarantee the right thing -- it's inverted. It makes it so
that before kernel-devel's %post runs, kernel must be installed. What
Matt needs is a guarantee that kernel-devel is installed (if it will be
installed at all) before kernel's %post runs. Right now the only way to
do that is for kernel to require(post): kernel-devel, which is obviously
not something we want to do.
We've definitely mentioned that non-dependency ordering tags are an rpm
wishlist item in the past. Maybe Panu has some thoughts on this?
