Install the "rpmdb-redhat" package :) It's on one of the 3 installation-needed cds. This will install a database in /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat containing all redhat psyche packages. When some package you want to install complains about some dep you you may do rpm --redhatprovides <dep> to show if redhat provides this dep with one psyche package. You may also make some query like : rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat -qa to list the packages (like you would to rpm -qa to list packages installed on your system). If you want to be really pervert you may even do rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat --justdb -Uvh foo.rpm to complete the database with some custom dependancies of freshen it with RH errata (for example). Enjoy..
