No, I wouldn't just "rpm --nodeps..." without understanding what the
problem was.

You should try "rpm -q --requires package" and "rpm -q --whatprovides
[requires]"

For instance, when I do "rpm -q --whatprovides librpm.so.0", I get
rpm-4.0.2-8.  If you don't get that, something is wrong with one of your
packages or your rpm database needs to be rebuilt.

Sometimes, the "--requires" will show you that it's really looking for
something else, ie, the spec file in the src.rpm was done incorrectly.
