Darnit! I didn't even notice that I had joined the rpm5 list. I'm
actually quite sick this week and my head's probably not totally in the
game.
First, I very much appreciate the help, Jeff.
Second, you're right, I'm using rpm 4.8 from RHEL. It's the only choice I
have.
Next, at least in my case, setting the -x flag doesn't change anything.
As for the dependencies, you're correct in that there is no reason to
suspect that they aren't required. The problem I'm experiencing is that
all the dependencies that are required are being supplied by the local
package, but RPM is generating external dependencies because it sees the
need for a Requires and isn't noticing that it was supplied as a Provides.
If you have any information about how I could filter using rpm 4.8 I'd
appreciate it.
In any case, thanks for calling to my attention that I had asked my
question in the wrong place.
