And what happens, if some package calls just-installed binary in %post?
All dependencies should be working in time of %post. They can be
collected using documented %__find_prereq. The only problem:
%__find_prereq is not implemented. And %find_requires_post is not
implemented, too.

Apropos, why Requires(pretrans) and Requires(posttrans) don't exist?

And finally, why %preuntrans and %postuntrans don't exist at all?
