you cant mix rpm and compiling-on-your-own that easily.

even if you would make it to install fileutils, rpm wont recognize it
and still give this error.

either
- install fileutils with rpm
or
- compile proftpd and fileutils on your own

you could also use --nodeps , but that will break your package management

btw. "stuckup with installing" isnt a problem description which (at
least) I can help with.
