You shouldn't use the "-i" option to "rpm" unless you know what you're
doing, which I think you don't. ;-) In fact, I used to not know it
when we were just starting with Owl in 2000. Perhaps this option should
be made to print out a big warning and require a --force-install or
something...
Use -Uvh or -Fvh instead. Please note that "-U" is capable of
installing a new package just fine, only without the dangers of "-i"
(which lets you install multiple versions of the same package at
once, -- something you do not want normally).
