It might work ... most of these are used by the network tester,
so if they work, then using --nodeps is OK. 

However, personally I would fetch the source RPM in rebuild it
locally to make sure it references the right versions of the
libraries. Just grab the hobbit*src.rpm file from SourceForge, 
then run "rpmbuild --rebuild hobbit*src.rpm", and in a few minutes
you'll have a ready-to-install RPM for your system.

(It does require that you have the "*-devel" packages installed,
e.g. pcre-devel, openssl-devel, openldap-devel).
