Wow. That just pegged my absurd-o-meter.
This is a little *too* difficult. Now I'm wondering about rpm --force

It's always struck me that there's a fundamental problem with program
dependencies in Linux. In that things that *could* provide more
features to something shouldn't be a "dependency".
The situation is much better in Debian. It has apt-get and aptitude
package managers. Aptitude solves this problem to a great extent.
Yum has to mature a *lot* to reach the level of the above two package
managers. Compared to them, yum is in its infancy.
