I tried this out on my hybrid cooker/7.0 machine. 
To install basic ghostscript and ghostscript-font rpms, I did

rpm -Uvh ghostscript*
'ghostscript-5.50-4mdk.i586.rpm does not appear to be an RPM package'
ghostscript #############################
ghostscript-fonts #######################
cannot remove /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript

So it seems they go ahead and install okay?

Does the first error message appear for everyone?

Is it appropriate SOP to ignore 'cannot remove' messages or
'rm -rf usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript' first then 'rpm -Uvh' ?

I am also still slightly confused re: the other ghostscript rpms, i.e.;
ghostscript-Both
ghostscript-PrintOnly
ghostscript-SVGALIB
ghostscript-X-5.50

In the piecemeal stumbling method of upgrading that I do
I usually go ahead and try and cram everything in but
thought I would ask first this time !!!
