I expect it to allow me to specify version of a package I want to have (either upgrade to newer, but not newest, or downgrade to older), then check if it can satisfy all the dependencies with that version. I don't want it to have --nodeps nor real --force, only something like rpm --oldpackage and rpm -F package-version.rpm (now it's equivalent to say rpm -F package-*.rpm and selects the newest). If the dependencies can be satisfied and I want to test some package version (because I want to see which version introduced a bug I'm reporting on bugzilla, helping you fix it), there's no reason not to let me do it. It's far from rpm -e --nodeps glibc, you know :) Telling users on the list to use rpm --force --nodeps --whatever instead of yum install package-older-version is teaching them bad things and is more harmful. Oh, and a real high level tool is a gui to yum, which doesn't have to be able to downgrade. At least if I'm using yum (middle level ;)) to downgrade something I'm more confident it won't break anything (or tell me if downgrading is not possible). Lam
