No. Frankly, even though I read the man page again before starting the
trek, I missed it entirely. However, even had I spotted it, it *might*
have scared me off because ...
--oldpackage
Allow an upgrade to replace a newer package with an older one.
This would have nailed me if I didn't get the right package. I did
manage to pull one older version by mistake (by habitually pulling from
base repository and not noticing that the package was a older one than
what I had, from Extras repository). Fortunately, cpio "Did the Right
Thing" (TM) and saved my butt because I had avoided the (u)nconditional
flag. It forced me to investigate and correct without waiting for
another "rpm --verify" to spot my error.
But in the future, I will give it a try.
