RPM doesn't care what's installed on your disk.  RPM only cares about
what it's database says is installed.

You can install the whole Internet onto your hard disk, but RPM will
still say it can't find /bin/ls unless the fileutils RPM has been
installed.

The solution to fixing RPM dependencies is not creating more files on
the disk; the solution is to install the RPM that says ``these files
are installed''.

    LL> how do i resolve this, please?

I hope that makes it clear.
