But --force includes --replacefiles which *is* deadly in several
circumstances and hardly ever needed, because what it can do is this:
--replacefiles
Install the packages even if they replace files from other,
already installed, packages.
Using --replacepkgs or perhaps --replacepkgs --oldpackage is [more
than] enough, usually.
