I think this problem likely reflects that this RPM was build against a
redhat distro.  Try building from source and using "./Makepkgs"

I'd love if we could do away with the distro-specific dependencies, but
I don't think it's entirely possible.  We likely need to create an
additional level of directories on the download site:

download/rpm/redhat
download/rpm/suse
