FW: [NTLUG:Discuss] Upgrade Dependencies - RPM

[saluki]

Sometimes, you have use brute force and tell it just do it.   Use the 
force flag...I've had to do this several times in situations like this. 
 I think its ' --force'   Try the update flag  -U first though...that 
sometimes works where a straight install doesn't.
