You can always try using

rpm -ivh --force package-name

ie, this reinstalls a package even if the RPM database says it is already
installed. Unlike Windoze, this really does work. I use this often, for
instance installing an older kernel when a newer one is installed.

With the latest mod_ssl I had to use

rpm -Uvh --oldpackage apache-mod_ssl...

Because it said the latest was older than the installed version, even though
it wasn't. I suspect changes to the apache-mod_ssl.spec are to blame with
this one.

Not really a modssl question though.
