There are a couple of other problems with the ordering code in rpm-4.4.2. While the proposed patch fixes this particular case it is not sufficient to solve the problem. It also breaks for loops of Requires(pre), so it would need a more elaborated handling of this case.

Later versions of rpm have this problem fixed by basically completely rewriting the ordering code. But backporting these changes is not an option.

As changing the behaviour now has a chance to trip up other problems this issue will not be addressed in this RHEL release.
