rpm --aid's depsolving has a lot of issues on modern distributions and
packaging conventions. For the red hat-related distros (rhel, centos,
fedora) it will not be a recommended solution. I hope in the
not-so-distant future it will be removed altogether. If you want to do
depsolving use one of the rpm depsolvers: (yum, smart, apt, etc)

-sv
