Thats really not the job of rpm, which is a tool to install/uninstall a given 
package, or package list.  What you are asking for is the job of the package 
manager tool, which sits above rpm.  yum, apt, up2date, these are all 
examples of higher level management tools, while rpm itself is just the 
method to get the given package into the database/file system.

Would you be shocked if I told you that Debians dpkg, the tool to install 
packages, doesn't do any dep checking?  Just blindly installs.  It's up to 
dselect, apt, whatever to do the dep logic and whatnot.
