Kai, correct me if I'm wrong, but one is allowed to use other programs

his choice?
Well, I have rpmforge enabled for example, and I installed an application from their repo which installed a few dependencies from their repo as well. One of those dependencies was an rpm whose version was higher than the software dev's recommended version.
In that scenario, how does one force a downgrade?
Thanks!

Does the current installed version give a problem?
Using something like rpmforge to install an rpm ( I presume you used yum
or something?) I think the only way is to remove it, and then manually
install the correct one. The command would be something like rpm -ivh
http://rmpforge-website/rpms/package-1.2.3.54-234.rpm - or something
