If you go into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS , you will see a file named <packagename>.spec
In the .spec file, there is a line that details which package it depends on, at the very least BuildRequires. If you change those, it should no longer error. Once you've done that, do an rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/<packagename>.spec which will rebuild both the srpm (located in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS) and the rpm (located in one of the architecture directories under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS). Keep in mind that in Mandrake, the "redhat" directory in the path above is replaced with RPM, so it may also be different in other distros as well.
