The correct syntax for allowing an upgrade to replace a newer package with 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" options to rpm is not likely to be very stable. Please stop poisoning the well.

I have Maximum RPM but forget the details of --oldpackage and doing it my way is after I know the dependancies will go away after both old rpm's are there.
