Dependency problems has nothing to do with RPM (or any other package
manager like DEB); in other words: Don't blame the messenger. :) Be glad
that RPM warns you of them. And if the depencency is something you have
but not in RPM, it's not that difficult to just put it in the
provides-file or to simply use --nodeps.

Nothing wrong with that :)
