RPM database issues come up in a variety of ways. For some reason, Paul's response above prompted me to consider why it would not be possible or easier to edit the RPM database. Perhaps that question came to mind today because I have been considering switching from Up2date upgrading to use of Yum and have the impression that Yum updates are also not recorded in the RPM database.
I did this also for the pkg-config export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
You are trying to install an RPM of tomboy, which requires gtk-sharp. However, the version of gtk-sharp you have installed is a local build (you compiled and installed it yourself, right?), and so because it wasn't installed as an RPM, your RPM database has no knowledge of it and hence thinks you don't have it.
Best fix is to find an RPM of gtk-sharp and install that.
