> Just tested rpm on RH7.2 rpm -Uvh * on a directory full of rpms which
together all satisfy each others dependencies, the first thing it did
was complain about failed dependencies....  rpm 4.0.3-1.0.3

Ehh, so? That can have many reasons. It has always worked for me, and
that's the idea. Obviously your system is a bit screwy somewhere. I
question your statement "fulfil each others dependencies", the fact you
get an error is evidence to the contrary. How do you know that anyway?
If you installed with --nodeps and things seem to work at least
somewhat, it doesn't prove everything required by the rpms yuou tried
to install is indeed installed. If things seem to run, it's also
possible that files which are technically speaking missing (according
to the rpm database) are indeed installed somewhere, because you did
something dodgy before. Heaps of possibilities.
