Just thought I'd let people know that the solution to my problem with
rpm/apt-get complaining that:
# rpm -i freetype-2.0.3-7.i386.rpm

with file from package freetype2-2.0.3-1
had a very simple solution.

Wasn't that a conectiva idea?
I think it was hosted by Connectiva, and I think Alfredo is employed by

Last weekend I forcibly installed a bunch of packages I shouldn't have,

wait a moment. Apt won't grock dependencies that aren't packaged AFAIK.
