RPM failed deps gone loopy

[Susan Macchia]

Lonni,

You may have already done this, but I would try building another src.rpm to
determine if the problem is with the rpm file (which I suspect), or with rpm
itself.  Then, if the problem is the rpm file, whereever you got the src.rpm
(redhat?) is who should fix the problem.  I bet its with the scripts
that are used to build the source from the rpm or some such.

Good luck and HTH
