+Unless you add specific versionated requires, you've no guaranties that rpm
+will get updated before foobar which has a systemd unit and requires
+an up to date rpm-helper.

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Yes we do

+</I>
+That has always be the way to do.
+Any package should require what it needs for its post/pre scripts.
+For systemd units, that means, an up to date rpm-helper.
+
+Another way would be to alter the installer (see install/pkgs &amp; media.pm)
+in order to install first urpmi by handling priority upgrades w/o
+actually restarting
+itself of course. (Might need urpmi changes).
+
+Or to explicitly upgrade rpm/rpm-helper first.
