You're missing three issues that have not been resolved, nor will the
be in the forseeable future:
1) Morons using dependancies against specific files. Gotta love
having to create spaghetti filesystems just to install packages.
2) Fracturisation of the format. RH, mdk, SuSE, and god knows who
else all use RPMs, none are terrably compatible with each other for
various reasons.
3) Lack of standardized package names. You can have all the
dependancies installed and RPM wouldn't know it. Yeah, you can
force it, but who really wants to routinely force things and leave
them to chance?
