That, and the next time you use yum after using rpm, yum will
scream at you about modifying the database outside of yum :-).

I find it very useful to use the yum localinstall technique for
things like acroread on a 64 bit system, since if I allow it
to use the adobe repo, it will decide to satisfy dependencies
by doing things like pulling down the spanish version of
acroread to get some library packaged with it.

If I disable the adobe repo while installing the manually
downloaded acroread rpm, the dependencies get satisfied by
the fedora repos, and I automagically get all the 32 bit
support libs I need.
