I want to install bzip2... I found an rpm, and it's called bzip2-0.9.5d-2.i386.rpm, the problem is that when I try to install it, it conflicts with the package bzip-1.0.2-32. At first I thought I had to Upgrade.. but that's not it. I can't really uninstall bzip because it would break a lot of dependencies.. so what should I do? I need bzip2 to install other rpms (yeah I am in the middle of yet another dependency hell).

I got tired of waiting for an answer... so I went ahead and tried 'rpm --force -vh bzip2-0.9.5d-2.i386.rpm and now the package is installed. When I try the next one in the list (rpm-build-3.0.6-6x.i386.rpm), I get another conflict!
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmgettext from install of rpm-build-3.0.6-6x conflicts with file from package rpm-3.0.6-294
There are a 'few' of these conflicts.. um... do I just go ahead and force the install again? How can I know if force-installing an rpm will not break down my system? The idea of just force-installing all rpms seems temptating...
