Ok,

   Have you tried to make a fake src.rpm package that "provides" this 'libfoo' and
install it ? It didn't need to install anything just tell to the rpm library that it 
"provides" 'libfoo'.

    Another way is to just force the install, but, doing it you will have some problems
during updates.
