I have done a rpm --rebuilddb as root. Nothing has changed. When I try to
install wine, it says I need 'itcl', this according to RPM is not installed,
when I try to install it, it tells me it is installed.
Is there any way of hacking the database, or is the install looking for files
on the system that are part of the packages that is looking for?
