Sometimes I run into the error where RPM seems to think that it needs the package you're installing in order to install it. I find it ironic that the package would need itself to install. After all, if you have it already, why would you be installing it? Here's just one example that kept me staring at the screen trying to figure out what file I corrupted somewhere along the line...
#linux>ls
wine-2.xyz.rpm
#linux>rpm -ivh wine-2.xyz.rpm
Failed Dependencies
wine-2.xyz is needed by package wine-2.xyz
Kinda brings new meaning to rpm dependency hell, doesn't it?
