i'm trying to install anjuta via an rpm. i had it installed previously under redhat 9, but i've recently switched over to mandrake 9.2. however, when i attempt to install it, some dependencies fail. when i tried to install some of these dependent packages, it says they're already installed. if i do an rpm query for them, they don't show up. anjuta continues to say it requires these packages even if i use the "--force" option to reinstall the packages. output looks like this:

[root@192 jake]# rpm -i anjuta-1.2.1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libglade2 >= 2.0.0 is needed by anjuta-1.2.1-1
libgnome >= 2.0.2 is needed by anjuta-1.2.1-1
libgnomeprint22 >= 2.0.1 is needed by anjuta-1.2.1-1
libgnomeprintui22 >= 2.0.1 is needed by anjuta-1.2.1-1
libgnomeui >= 2.0.2 is needed by anjuta-1.2.1-1
[root@192 jake]# rpm -i libglade2.0_0-2.0.1-6mdk.i586.rpm
package libglade2.0_0-2.0.1-6mdk is already installed
[root@192 jake]# rpm -qa libglade
[root@192 jake]#

i would appreciate it if anyone who knows why it sees the packages as installed but then says they are needed could clue me in. thanks in advance.

This is very illogical. There may be something wrong with the rpm data base to where it gives illogical results. Maybe you can clean up the rpm data base with:
rpm --rebuilddb

The same thing happened to me and drove me nuts for a while until a guy told me to install the devel packages besides the usual one. That should do it
