I think that you can get that with a package query...
e.g. -
(options abbreviated below are --query --requires --package)

...as far as how it actually "looks" for .so's I'm not sure - en entry
into /etc/ld.so.conf might serve to satisfy this - but I would not know
without trying it....

re: force -vs- nodeps
	- nodeps will simply overlook any dependency failures, force
will overwrite any existing package info (read: files) - I cannot be
sure but this _may_ include existing conf files (as opposed to backing
them up nicely) - IMHO force is pretty dramatic and is a great way to
break an app if not used with extreme caution.  I'm not positive as I
have not read up on RPM in eons - but I felt it worth mentioning...
