Since I cannot put gnorpm back the following excerpt from the release
notes might be of some help here:
RPM will also suggest package(s) that will satisfy unresolved
dependencies if the rpmdb-redhat package is installed. For example, if
you are attempting to upgrade the gnumeric without a necessary
library, you will see the following message:
rpm -Uvh gnumeric-1.0.5-5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libbonobo-print.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5
libbonobo.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5
libbonobox.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5
Suggested resolutions:
bonobo-1.0.20-3.i386.rpm
The above mechanism is equivalent to (and will replace) the existing
--redhatprovides mechanism.
