Anyway, I'm going to make a perl script to wrap rpm -i so I can check for unknown dependencies and then fail to install only if there are still unsatisfied dependencies. I'll use the '--nodeps' option if I can find all the required libs through 'ldconfig -p'. I would love to convert to packages only but I'm stuck with lots of locally installed stuff from the old: tar xvzf foo.tgz cd foo ./configure make ; make install routine and don't have time at the moment to package everyting, so a wrapper will have to do for now. If anyone is interested in my 'installrpm.pl' let me know.
