The problem is that:
a) This requires every RPM to be in a yum repository. Usually if they
aren't in Extras, FreshRPMs, Dag or somesuch then they are just an RPM on
a download page. Then automatic dep resolution doesn't work.
With system-install-packages apparently moving toward a yum backend (or
with whatever yum GUI we end up with), it ought to be fairly
straightforward to try and resolve deps from configured repositories
even when installing non-repo RPMs. In the FC4 case, that would fix
your issue a) above for compat-libstdc++-33, right?
This can already be addressed in FC4 using:
# yum localinstall some-package.rpm
where yum will go off and get any required dependencies for the rpm to
be installed.
