"The system" might (depending on how you define "the system"), but RPM definitely does not. RPM does not check the filesystem for what may or may not be installed. It has a database for that purpose, which is updated when you install/remove packages. If you installed something, and did not use an RPM to do so, RPM does not know anything about the components that you installed. This is RPM 101.

Using --nodeps on an RPM package install is just plain wrong -- any software that requires it to install is broken. Run (don't walk) from any maintainer that tells you to use it to install their package. This (IMHO) should also be in RPM 101. :) Your ways forward in this case are: 1) Find an RPM of Mozilla to suit your distro (accepting that you might not get the version of Mozilla that you want), then try re-installing the gnophone RPM 2) Use a suitable .spec file to build an RPM of Mozilla to suit your distro (if you really must have a version of Mozilla for which there is no existing RPM), then try re-installing the gnophone RPM 3) Build and install gnophone from source (if you want to keep your existing Mozilla install) I'd suggest taking further questions on this away from this list, as it is really not on-topic for Asterisk...
