The correct syntax for allowing an upgrade to replace a newer packagewith an older one (ie. downgrading) is to use the "--oldpackage" option,as follows:


rpm -Uvh --oldpackage PACKAGE_FILE.rpm

A system with packages managed via the "--force" and "--nodeps" optionsto rpm is not likely to be very stable. Please stop poisoning the well.
