<a href="http://10.1.2." target="_blank">10.1.2.</a> Setting prerequisites<br>
<br>
A prerequisite is similar to a require dependency, except that a<br>
prerequisite must be installed prior to a given package. Specify a<br>
prerequisite as follows:<br>
<br>
PreReq: capability<br>
<br>
You can include version-number dependencies, such as:<br>
<br>
PreReq: capability >= version<br>
<br>
In most usage, a PreReq: acts just like Requires:, in fact, the PreReq:<br>
directive exists just to allow for a manual order to dependencies. RPM<br>
guarantees that the PreReq: package will be installed prior to the package<br>
that names the PreReq: dependency.<br>
