What I do on HP-UX is to populate /etc/rpmrc with provides of what already exists on the system. File /etc/rpmrc: Provides: /bin/sh /bin/bash And so on. That list can get rather long. Everything on one line. The second thing you can do, for your own private rpms, is to turn off automatic dependency building in the rpm spec file. Then the rpm you build won't have any dependencies other than the ones you specify manually. I think because of the way you are building your system this is the best answer for you. You don't have the system installed by rpm so you can't really use it for normal dependency checking anyway.
