Could this be considered a bug in the package_rpm.bbclass? It seems to me
that if you skip files-rdeps,
we might not want to be adding anything into splitpreinst. Otherwise it
seems silly to tell insane.bbclass
to skip something that RPM is going to ding you on later anyway. Or maybe I
am confused...

In any case, I believe what you may be seeing can be viewed as an RPM-ism,
and not necessarily a
yocto-ism per se. So you might consider trying one of the following to work
around the problem:

Experiment with using a virtual provider. It may be possible to just map
the dependency manually to
what is already there.

If you _know_ that your dependency is truly isolated to your recipe, you
may be able to set RPROVIDES
values in your recipe so the resulting RPM thinks the dependencies are met
internally.

Patch package_rpm.bbclass to add a guard variable around the setting of
splitpreinst. Add that
guard variable to your recipe so it selectively turns off the pre-install
checks for that particular package.
Or just check for files-rdeps in INSANE_SKIP and do the same thing...

Stop fighting RPM and switch to a different package type like IPK.
