This is misleading. I realized that dependencies *do* work

the other non-done states), but I'm blocked from changing it to
DONE.
This is how it should be.
I agree -- that's why I apologized for introducing that point.
But they still don't work with my usual configuration.
Well, if the value of org-blocker-hook is nil in this case, I
am not surprised! Why is it nil? If you set the
org-enforce... variables, the hook should be filled
with the two functions.
I don't know why it's nil. However, I've discovered a bit more. It
seems that the problem is that my settings in my org-config file:
(setq org-enforce-todo-dependencies t)
(setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible)
(setq org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies t)
didn't prompt the required change in the value of org-blocker-hook.
With these lines in my org config file, the values of the three
variables are as expected, but the value of org-blocker-hook remains
nil, even if I stop and re-start emacs.
When I change the value of org-enforce-todo-dependencies using
customize, then the value of org-blocker-hook is what it should be,
and
the dependencies work, even if I stop and re-start emacs.
So presumably something else in my config file is keeping
org-blocker-hook from being re-set?
I'd prefer not to use the customize function, so I'd hoped to set it
in
my config file.
Thanks, and apologies for not sorting through this a bit more before
the initial post.
