We don't use libvga anywhere...not sure why rpm listed that as a
dependency.  You should be able to install with: rpm -Uvh --nodeps

I'll take a look into this.  If all else fails, we'll explicitly list our
dependencies in the spec file rather than have rpm figure it out when
we're building the rpm.  My guess though is that -lvga is on a link line
for some sample somewhere and it doesn't need to be.
