To upgrade to this package, pass --force to rpm.

Beware of overwritten config files that are usually backed up when using --force (I think).


For one, I don't think "rpm -i --force" usually backs up overwritten
config files, and secondly, the config files are no more dangerous after
they're backed up than before!

src.rpm worked great here and is running well, thanks.

-U --force, installs new conf file, but also makes a backup of
the conf file.
