Install the "rpmdb-redhat" package :)
It's on one of the 3 installation-needed cds.
This will install a database in /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
containing all redhat psyche packages.
When some package you want to install complains about some dep you you
may do rpm --redhatprovides <dep> to show if redhat provides this dep
with one psyche package.
You may also make some query like :
rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat -qa
to list the packages (like you would to rpm -qa to list packages
installed on your system). If you want to be really pervert you may even
do
rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat --justdb -Uvh foo.rpm
to complete the database with some custom dependancies of freshen it
with RH errata (for example).
Enjoy..
