[root@mail rpms]# rpm -e --force mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced
[root@mail rpms]#
I tried
[root@mail rpms]# rpm -ivh -e --force mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm

but in fact it doesn't get installed.
First do "rpm -e mysql". Then everything should be gone, so check that.
Then the "rpm -ivh mysql..." should work. You can't delete and install
at the same time.

Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.
