Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! I had the same problem, but (probably) with a different program. I don't remember which program, but there were "inter-dependencies" between two or three sets of files, and none of them would install because they all needed each other. What a pain!
I finally got fed up and "told rpm" to load all of the programs - and the darned thing went on and installed everything just as smooth as could be! Sorry, I only had this one experience, and I don't normally use rpm from the command line, so I can't give you the details on what I did - but instead of trying to install A and then install B, I gave the command sequence to install A B - and it worked! Let us know if it works for you! Good luck!
