Install them both (and newer versions of other packages that were built
aganst the older version ) at the same time.

No. The dependencies still exist, and the problem won't be solved, if
you use the --nodeps option. RPM is telling you important stuff - that
you're trying to get a new version of an application when a lot of the
software you have specifically wants the old version.

Get updates of all the apps mentioned, and install them at the same
time.
