Rpm inconsisteny reported on Yum list

[Enrique Perez-Terron <enrio online no>]

I am taking the liberty to crosspost an extract of a message on
yum@lists.dudlug.duke.edu:

(Output from yum:)
.Package gedit needs libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0()(64bit), this is 
not available.

This is a 64 bit server. "locate" found the file at:
/usr/lib64/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
"rpm -qf" shows the file is owned by gtksourceview-1.0.0-2
"rpm -qi gtksourceview" showed that it is installed.
"rpm -V gtksourceview" said the package is not install.
Huh!

* So rebuild the DB (rpm --rebuilddb).  Same result.
* Erased and reinstalled gtksourceview.  Same result.

Is this a known problem?
