Thanks for the input. I finally located the file -- the system or user rpmrc file will allow overriding the package dependency. This is useful for some platforms, such as Solaris, that may not have all files under RPM control. Apparently it was available in some versions of RPM, removed in a later version, then re-added. The RPM Howto does not list this option in the couple versions that I checked, but RPM 4.0.1 seems to include it.
