If you have a given set of packages you want to install, one approach that
I use to get the dependencies all sorted out is:

        mkdir tmp-install-dir
        cd tmp-install-dir
        mv initialpackages.rpm... .
do:
        rpm -Uvh *.rpm
        if deps-error:
                download packages to meet dependencies
until !deps-error

You get the idea,
