RPM dependency hell

I'm getting really tired of Red Hat's RPM nonsense. I can't upgrade *anything* because rpm complains about dependencies. I can understand that a new version of program 'xyz' may need library 'libabc-2.3.so', but rpm refuses to upgrade because program 'abc-1.2' depends on 'libabc-1.2.so' and can
