But actually, I can't seem to reproduce the original problem now, i.e. 
when I retry the installation, the packages are installed in the 
"correct" order without Requires(pre). And many this is what I should 
expect; rpm does try to order packages according to (normal) Requires 
these days, doesn't it.

Yet I'm quite sure that it somehow decided to install the package using 
certain libs after the ones providing them when I tested this earlier.

I'm confused ;-(
