I think that Debian is a more stable, simplifies upgrades and has much
more packages. But a newbie may indeed prefer YaST ...

A simple question: Did you installed the bridge-utils via YaST or not?
Verify with:
$ rpm -qa | grep bridge
Does it output bridge-utils, is the rpm package installed?

Compiling your own binary would not be recognized as rpm dependency. If
a rpm package requires bridge-utils than it refers to the rpm package
not a binary somewhere in your system!
You're free to compile from source (but I hope you didn't used
--prefix=/usr but --prefix=usr/local as configure option as all files in
/usr (except /usr/local) are owned by rpm packages.). There are so
called source rpm packages which can be used to rebuild a rpm package
from source (using rpmbuild command). But don't do this in this case. It
is not necessary!

Just install the rpm package so that it is listed in the rpm database as
installed. That's all!
