Packages which are already installed and updated might not allow the old
packages on DVD to be installed, due to dependencies.  So ideally yum
should be able to use the DVD as a repo, and have the ability to combine
an old local rpm with a downloaded drpm to generate the newest package
before installing, to satisfy the dependencies.
