1.  You're not circular yet - freetype != freetype-devel ;)

2.  When circularity (!) happens, either install all deps at once:
	  rpm -Uvh dep1.rpm dep2.rpm dep3.rpm
    Or if at first you don't succeed, force it:
	  rpm -Uvh foo.rpm --nodeps

3.  The post  about apt-rpm and yum  being good is  correct.  Both are
helpful in maintaining a RH system.

When you become a nuisance, you will be told so in no uncertain terms.
Repent, or   counter-flame with  sufficient  skill,  and  you will  be
accepted.
