Dependencies are not on files, but on what other packages (say they)
provide - so your pam rpm does not tell rpm that it provides the
system-auth file.
This suggests that either your pam is out of date, or that the wu-ftpd
rpm you're using is for another system.
From what I can gather at rpmfind.net (search for
/etc/pam.d/system-auth), pam 0.72 or higher includes the file, so if
yours is earlier, you may need to upgrade it to satisfy the dependency.
If you installed pam from sources instead of from rpm, you can either 
install it from rpm, or just tell rpm to ignore dependencies (--nodeps I
think) when installing wu-ftpd.
