----------------------------------------
We're installing GPFS from IBM, the installation packages come in two parts, 
gpfs.base and gpfs.update.

The gpfs.base and gpfs.update are in conflict, but gpfs.update depends on 
gpfs.base.

The documented way of handling this issue is by installing one, and updating 
the other i.e.

<pre><code=shell>
rpm -ivh gpfs.base*.rpm
rpm -Uvh gpfs.update*.rpm
</code></pre>

Could the package resource be extended to have an 'update' attribute that 
changes the install method to -Uvh for the rpm provider?
