Nope, tried that.
Here is a snippet from my history:
 1004  . poky-init-build-env
 1005  bitbake poky-image-minimal
 1006  bitbake rpm
 1007  bitbake poky-image-minimal
 1008  rpm
 1009  git log
 1010  bitbake rpm-native
 1011  time bitbake poky-image-minimal
even the last one gives the rpm error (and inbetween I did build rpm,
check for a native rpm and build rpm-native)

It comes from the image recipe which contains:
./images/poky-image-minimal.bb:IMAGE_INSTALL = "task-poky-boot
${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE}"
I assume by default I get rpm as package management (I am using the
default values afaik).
If it is rpm this comes from:
./classes/rootfs_rpm.bbclass:ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE = "rpm zypper"

I guess this is something beyond a missing dependency.

don't know all differences between OE and yocto yet.
poky always seems to execute do_build, do_package_write and do_rm_work
OE does seem to skip all steps if the stamps say everything is build.
