nope. i just built and upgraded it. maybe on builders it's more complicated

didn't had to use --nodeps, only thing was that rpm 4.4.9 used same soname 
while symbols were missing, so poldek didn't startup. for builders have to 
build rpm and poldek in same time. but that's impossible. however afaik 
builders don't use chroot poldek, but some copy.

those deps were disabled.

if you mean libtool deps, then those not needed. but were there any packages 
besides poldek using rpm library, as soname deps don't work (it's same for 
4.4.2 and 4.4.9)
