don't use the --force switch to install RPMs, unless you are 200% sure you know what
you are doing - it can cause tons of grief if used w/o proper caution. the --nodeps
OTOH is usually quite safe - unless you are upgrading glibc or something, at the most
it would cause your newly installed software not to work.
Generally speaking , the dependency problem is a know redhat problem and can be easly
solved by --rebuilding the source RPM on your machine.
