worth noting for the record that, as always when using 'force' type
parameters to a package management system, when it breaks - as it
inevitably will - you get a full refund of what you paid for it, and you
get to keep both pieces. =) generally, when yum wants to do something
really funky, the solution is not 'figure out how to let yum do it' but
'figure out why yum wants to do something funky, and fix that'.
(this is obviously not aimed at seth, who knows it already, but at the
thread in general.)
