I have some rpm packages that I built locally. After installing and configuring them, I found a problem that required a source patch. I have rebuilt the rpms, but since they have the same version number as the original, I can't use "yum localupdate" to install them. Is there a clean way to do this with yum, or do I just need to remove the old packages and then install the new ones? -- Bowie

I want to just see what will happen (ie success, or some dependencies still cannot be met) with: yum localinstall whatever.rpm I ASSuME (I have googled for this, but it is not clear) that localinstall will take the rpm, install it, and go to the yum repro to meet any outstanding dependencies. I just want to test this right now, not actually do it. I want to know what yum would install from

I don't need help, I&...
