Run rpm in query mode with the --provides option and the name of a package
as argument. For example:
grimmy:~$ rpm -q --provides glibc | grep libm
libm.so.6
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
grimmy:~$

I now have a few ideas about how this might be fixed. I'll try them for
the next build. (In the meantime, `--nodeps' is your friend. ;)
