Check again.
The files are not taken from the filesystem but from the rpm db ie you
can depend on a file, if it has not been installed via rpm your dep
won't work.

rpm does not know about the "real" files. rpm only cares about the state
the system is supposed to be. One of the basic maintenance commands is
rpm -Va where you check the system is in the state rpm thinks it is and
fix deviations manually.
