Expressing RPM dependencies with InstallP

Hi,
I am new to AIX and I have been asked to convert an RPM package into
a InstallP package. I used LPPBUILD (Open source software) for easing
out the process of conversion. Using it I have created the BFFs. But
now, say the rpm was dependent on bash *3.0.5-1* . How do I represent
the similar dependency in InstallP using V.R.M.F or in other words how
do I specify the dependency of a software in installp that I installed
thro` rpm.


Example :
A.rpm needs to be converted to A.bff.
A.rpm requires bash 3.0.5-1 as a prerequisite.
How do I make A.bff depend on the same bash ?
