[Rpm-maint] RPM chain installing

[aneeskA]

Ok. I'll try to explain my situation more clearly. Say I have 5 RPMS named
A, B, C, D and E. They are dependent on each other like this-> B on A, C on
B and A, D on C, B and A and E on D, C, B and A. I have defined this in spec
file using 'PreReq' tag (I donno if this is correct. but  if I try to
install C before A and B, he will complain their absence. That much I know)

Now I am looking for a way in which before installing A, B, C and E, if I
try to install E, he must install the dependent RPMs if they are available
locally automatically.

   Your thoughts on this. I am desperate for a solution.

Regards
