This is because libpng.so.2 is listed as an RPM dependency, but there is no RPM which claims to provide it. That is where you have to do a "--nodeps" and is one of the problems with RPM. This is part of the advantage to using Checkinstall when installing from source. If you compiled and installed libpng.so.2 with CheckInstall, all you should (theoretically) need to do is alter the "Provides" line to include the filename libpng.so.2 and you should be all set to install RPM's with deps for it.
