The dependency that yum is catching isn't on dbus-sharp, but on
mono(dbus-sharp).

    $ rpm -q --whatrequires 'mono(dbus-sharp)'
    tomboy-0.3.5-3
    f-spot-0.1.10-1

You could do something like this to try and catch that:

    $ rpm -q --whatrequires $(rpm -q --provides dbus-sharp | cut -d= -f1)

There may well be an easier way to do this using rpm and bash, but
that's one way that springs to mind.  Of course, using yum is even
easier than that. :)
