You don't even have to install the devel packages that are missing. Just delete the rpm's that have dependencies (two in my case) and :

You may be right, Bruce, but this doesn't take into account the original instructions in the original post (paraphrased) "install and test these packages" with zerop qualifications about excluding -devel or -debug packages. It never occurred to me that unnecessary packages would be included in the directory so I followed the instructions and ran into dependencies... which, incidentally, only took a minute or two to resolve with apt.
