I am not sure what you mean by that - are you implying that coreutils is
not an RPM ? or do you mean to say that the dep is for a file rather
than a rpm ?

because, coreutils is a rpm, so other packages can depend on components
from this rpm. And its fine for a rpm to have a dependency on a specific
file, it does not need to only depend on other rpms.
