example manifest

Hi,

while creating an appliance on a new root, I had this issue:

try installing an rpm manifest that contains libreoffice with

  rpm --replacefiles --nosignature --nodigest --root $ROOT -vU $manifest

and you'll get the error

error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by libreoffice-4.3.5.2-12.1.x86_64

but if you install the same manifest without libreoffice and then install
libreoffice, it works. Thus there is some problem with RPM and file
dependencies.

I am attaching an example manifest.
