Using rpms directly from an app site is risky. When you work in an app
context (not a system one like redhat or any big rpm repository) you end
up with integration problems.

If you're got a clean copy of all the rpms you wish to replace you can
do either a rpm -Uvh --force list_of_new_rpms_to_install or even a 
rpm -e --nodeps list_of_rpms_to_remove
followed by a rpm -Uvh list_of_new_rpms_to_install

*WARNING* these flags are *DANGEROUS*. You're telling rpm you know damn
well better than it what to do and you bypass internal rpm checks.
Unrestricted usage of --force and --nodeps will result in a hosed
system.
