The correct syntax for allowing an upgrade to replace a newer package

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.
