I've been trying to work my way through the SeaWolf errata, 
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh71-errata.html, and 
have started repeatedly running into what i call a reciprocal 
"failed dependencies" error on several of the updates there. 
I'm using rpm-4.0.2-8 and have had no problem with most of 
the update packages on that page. 

Does anyone know if i should use *NOT* use "force" as in 
        rpm -Fvh --force <rpm-file> 
when i come across this error in situations like this?:

[root@vcserver1 errata]# rpm -q up2date
up2date-2.5.2-1
[root@vcserver1 errata]# rpm -Fvh up2date-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm    
error: failed dependencies:
        up2date = 2.5.2 is needed by up2date-gnome-2.5.2-1
[root@vcserver1 errata]# rpm -Uvh up2date-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm  
error: failed dependencies:
        up2date = 2.5.2 is needed by up2date-gnome-2.5.2-1
[root@vcserver1 errata]# rpm -Uvh up2date-gnome-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm 
error: failed dependencies:
        up2date = 2.5.4 is needed by up2date-gnome-2.5.4-1

<end>

Is there something else i should be doing first?

Thanks a bunch. 

All the best,
AD (who is indeed a newbie)
