RPM Dependency Loop

I had to install that dependency package for 11g R1.

When applying the necessary RPM , I came accross this dependency loop situation.
In general it is a loop of the dependency i.e, when you first install a package it will ask for another package and when trying to apply the requested package the dependency checks ask for the parent package.

[root@skrajend rpm]# rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        elfutils-libelf-devel-static-i386 = 0.137-3.el5 is needed by elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386
[root@skrajend rpm]# rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

I tried with yum but no success.
[root@skrajend rpm]# yum install elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Solution is to use wild cards in the rpm command.

[root@skrajend rpm]# rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel-*

[root@skrajend rpm]#

[root@skrajend rpm]# rpm -qa|grep -i elfutils-libelf-devel
elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.137-3.el5
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.137-3.el5
[root@skrajend rpm]#

Finally got those loop dependency patches installed.
