it does if they can grab all the required rpms and do
"rpm -U *.rpm". RPM reads the dependency information from all the
files on the command line (as well as those already installed)
before installing new packages. If instead, users attempt to do

  rpm -U b.rpm
  rpm -U c.rpm
  rpm -U a.rpm

then they will get annoying dependency warnings. (Aside: putting them
all on the same command line is the only way to deal with cyclic
dependencies).

Conrad.
