If you installed all of these packages without using --force --nodeps,
then it is a bug in red carpet, and I would very much appreciate a bug
report (bugzilla.ximian.com).

If you did install them by forcing them onto your system, then you do
need to either a) satisfy dependencies, or b) add fake entries to your
rpm database.
